Hi Jason, what part of SW are you from? There's a few Wedgers down here.

What on earth you want a wedge for , they're loud, noisy , politically incorrect , sharp edged , non fuel efficient , loud , heaters not very good ....

And sometimes bits of the exhaust fall off, eh Steve

They also have a mind of their own..Starting..Non-starting..make some very strange noises..leak water(Although mine dont)..Some parts are almost impossible to find..And they make people point at you..

and bits can occasionally fall off but still drivable for 100 miles or so , just slightly louder than before .

So its easy getting spares, you follow another Wedge.....

Sorry, no help. Good luck.

Hi, I live near Kidwelly between Llanelli and Carmarthen, ironically I saw a wedge driving through Burry Port/Pwll on Tuesday this week, and also saw an S-Series the week before, presumably going to Pembrey Circuit?

In answer to the other questions, V8 preferable (being an SD1 enthusiast too!) and convertible, a 350i would be a nice start I think....

Thanks for the other advice everyone, but as a Rover enthusiast, I'm well used to "collectors' cars" lol

Thats a few of their GOOD points!

My 280i is quite efficient on fuel....and who needs a heater in a soft top!

There are couple of examples on Ebay. Worth a look me recons

Try & get along to the South Wales PH Brekkie meet last Sunday of the month at Cross Hands. I'll try & drag my mate down with his 400SE for you to have a nose at.

This has got to one of the most amusing threads !

.... All true of course.....;)

[Red 938]

Dont forget many like to stay in their nice warm garages and usually refuse to start unless you bribe them with plenty of sun and lots of "fettling".......................mine does LOL

[PHJayV8]

Viewing two wedges Thursady will let you know

[PHJayV8]

Oh boy... Yikes! Only been and gone and done it! a lovely cherished 350i, which has been well travelled and used but has been kept pristine, both cosmetically and mechanically...

[hallsie]

Well done

Firstly we need some pics
secondly Zig will be along soon to make you sign up for the BBWF
