Hi chaps.
Sold my 350i last year with intention of moving to a 400se, but after looking at some from both ends of the country in my price range, I gave in and bought a BMW e36 M3 evo convertible boxedin
Finally managed to get hold of a 400 this week.
49k miles, full history and drove from Doncaster to Glasgow with no known problems biggrin
I've attached a photo below, cooper green in colour.
Needs a wee bit of work, mainly some paint, but I'm well happy.

Hi Phil
Thanks, I've really missed the TVR.
The M3 is a good enough car, but it's no wedge!

The car is cooper green, it's quite a dark colour.
There are some stone chips and scratches, and the rear spoiler has reacted with something (not sure if someone has tried cleaning it with an inappropriate substance or something).

Hi Jock

I note you're in Lanarkshire, so am I!
You must be one of the coven of wedges in Lanark?

I'm heading out on the big pistonheads run on Sunday (see Scottish forum) and probably taking the M3 as I want to get the TVR fully serviced.
It's just been done, but I'm a bit anal and would like to get my own mechanic to get the fluids and filters changed.

Cheers
JBR

Thanks Hotty
It was worth the 2 trips to Doncastern and no old ladies were robbed in the purchase, honest smile

Shedloads of history and all old MOTs, or is it wedgeloads of history? laugh

Cheers

I'm sure we'll bump into each other at one of the meetings.
I'm down in motherwell, so not far away.

Cheers

My car was formerly owned by a guy whose company (SPDS) is based just up the road from you in East Kilbride... last time I met him (John Beveridge) he had a gold-ish 400SE, haven't seen or heard of him on here so dunno if he's still a wedger...
