390SE in belgium for sale

[guznax2]

Hi Guy's,

I'm dutch and interested in this LHD 390se and I'm asking your help on this ad: https://www.autoscout24.fr/offres/-9ba2585d-d8fd-1...

The year is not right, its possibly 85 of 86 from the look of the fenders.
Are the vents in the front hood Original when its an 85 of 86?
Can you judge wether the interior is Original.

Is there a 390se registry somewhere?

thanks!

Xander (from Holland)

is must be a non Original swap from RHD to LHD, using the Original wooden trim.

Thanks!

My French is not too well.
I will ask tomorrow using google translate, because the last thing in the French part of Belgium is someone asking a question in Dutch :-)

[guznax2]

I beleive it to be less expensive if you want, I can contact him for you, I speak a bit of Dutch but he doesn't.

regards,
Christian.

I'm looking for a pre 88 because of higher taxes in Holland when first registration is after 1-1-1988 .

I dont mind speaking French, but as my French is not to well I dont feel comfortable speaking it on the Phone.

Thanks all for your help!
hmm..no answer from dark green yet..

The front and rear spoiler seem to be the only optical differences between 390se en 350i.
Are the 390se spoilers for sale somewhere as after-market in care they are damaged?

btw. I read that the 390SE rear suspension is the same as 350i, so the improved A-frame should be mounted from mid 1986?

Some early 390SE had trailing arm suspensionNot sure when they were fitted with A frame but should imagine a late 85 car would have...



Ziga

So its possible to have a 390SE with an Andy Rouse engine AND an A frame?
that would be a desirable combination.

[guznax2]

There is an early white one with an Andy Rouse engine (84 or 85) for sale on Facebook where the trailing arm is photographed.

Not necessarily. I´d assume TVR were just their practical selves.

Check the dash in the link above. The layout seem legit.

That said, the indicator arrows...

looking at the wood trim on this (presumed) Original LDH you are right I guess.. https://www.autoscout24.nl/aanbod/tvr-others-350i-...

On this one the indicator Arrows point outwards.
And on the green Belgian car the leather trim is another colour....
