Good stuff, let's see some photo's. Best come over to the Wedge section though, I'm not sure our cars are seen as 'classics' here wink

Sure, we see 'em as classics, just missing that chubby look.
Congratulations,

Balls, now I feel OLD....

Love the styling on these, in some ways more striking than the open top

Sort of OT

not quite sure why this needed to move bearing in mind it was originally in a regional section - OK wider audience maybe but I'm sure Tony intended it to be a local thread....

No offence intended and I guess no explaination needed either

On topic

Congratulations on the new arrival hope to see it at one of the local runs - soft spot for a TVR - my time will come laugh

That looks like an Series 2.....'83 rather than '81 or is it a 2+2.

I will bow to better knowledge from the wedge forum, I had only owned 2 wedges, (on A and later on B plates) and both convertibles. (enjoyed them both at the time)

Yip, it's a series two. The series one looks like this (although this is a 200 so has a filler flap rather than an exposed cap)
