390SE at auction

[Wedg1e]

No connection with the seller, it popped up while I was looking for something else.
Could be a bargain for someone...

It never ceases to amaze me for how little our cars go for. I've seen minis, worse than the ones I used to nick parts off in scrap yards, go for more than that.

Sadly it is because no-one really wants them and the market is very very small. I fell into wedge ownership by accident and now I think it is one of the best and most fun cars I have ever had. I have a 350i and the handling is brilliant, the performance is good and as for reparability, everything either comes from another car or I can make it! As a sunny day classic they are the perfect choice. All we need to do is persuade the rest of the classic car world!

Despite all the comments about how reliable TVR's are on this web page, in general they really aren't compared to other car options and sadly I think that albatross will swing around TVR's neck forever.

As more of these cars hit the 40 year Historic rule, perhaps they will become more attractive and prices will rise?

My ole 280i is 41 years old, she certainly turns some heads recently ...it is weird talking to people that are 35-40 years younger who show interest as i do forget myself sometimes when i say stuff like, "She has the Ford Capri 2.8i engine" then remember that most do not even know what that is..

I miss my 350i but glad to get Delilah back...been 12 months re-commissioning her, even though she just needed driving all those years i am kind of glad she wasnt
Seen a few go for silly money recently but it was like that when i joined PH 14 years ago ..in fact the values have only really gone up on anything above a 400SE...that 390SE looked a steal...

Looks very good. I always thought that the rear brakes were quite easy to access if you just drop the rear axle.

Even without that, they're a sight easier to work on under the Wedge than they ever were beneath an XJ6... at least you can get at them from different angles.
