Anyone here in Kuwait?

A TVR 350SX was exported there in 1989 about a year before Saddam rolled in. Can't find any trace and no-one from any of the motor clubs I've emailed out there has replied. As only 11 Sxs were produced I'd be interested to know if it still exists

Good question. Have you tried asking the TVRCC in the UK? They might have a register or something.

Here's a photo of another SX parked in front of my S2 at Rockingham in 1998. It was TVRs 60th Anniversary weekend and we were both in the 'timeline' of TVR models. Definitely sounded a bit different to a normal wedge.



For quite a while last year, there was a nice looking wedge on the PistonHeads classifieds. I'm pretty sure it had a n/a engine but it was advertised as a custom one-off commissioned for the royal family in Bahrain. It had A/C, LHD, an auto box and metallic green paint. I've no idea if it sold.

That's my SX. Car went straight to Kuwait after build so is unlikely to be a TVRCC member. - I've got a database oh history on all the other SXs and I don't really expect this yto have survived the war and occupation - but you never know!
