1987 TVR 350i Wedge, Metallic Navy Blue with Cream Half Leather Trim
S/S Exhaust; Power Steering; Alarm/Immobiliser; Factory Option Alloys; Distinctive Reg. No.
I
have had the car for 5 years, and in that time I have only done about 1100
miles. She has been stored in a dry brick built garage for all of that time and
never taken out in the rain. In
the time that I have owned her I have given her a service every year (oil/filter
change, new spark plugs, check electricals and brakes etc.). She has not
required any major mechanical or structural repairs while I have owned her,
except for the fitting of polycarbonate bushes to the front anti-roll bar which
cured a suspension ‘knock’.
I cannot guarantee that the recorded mileage (31,000) is correct as I have no comprehensive service history, but I do have some invoices going back to 2005, as well as all recent MOT certificates. Each
year since 2010 (apart from 2014 when she was not used) she has been submitted
for the MOT test and passed every time, and has just passed again this
year (no advisories).
Engine pulls strongly and sounds lovely. No issues with gearbox or drive train.
She
is fully roadworthy, and can be driven away!!
The car is very eye-catching, and the photographs, taken yesterday (4th June 2015) give a reasonable
impression, however they may be a little flattering, as closer inspection does
reveal some scratches and chips, and very slight crazing of the fibreglass gel
in places; having said that, the paintwork condition is far better than you
should expect from a 28 year old TVR. I suspect that it was resprayed late
90s/early 2000s .
The
interior is presentable, the vinyl coverings to door cards and dash surrounds
are good, leather seats have been refurbished at some time but definitely look
‘lived in’ now. Carpets in foot-wells are shabby and should be replaced.
No photographs of the chassis/suspension I"m afraid as I don"t have a ramp, but no issues were identified during the MOT inspection.
Jobs that need doing (it"s a TVR what did you expect?):
I
have recently noticed that the car is using some coolant, and needs to be topped
up over a long distance, BUT the oil is clear of sludge, no overheating, and I cannot see any
obvious leaks. It does not affect the driving/performance of the car, but the new owner may want to address this.
The
driver’s seat back position adjustment mechanism need attention.
The
electric door mirrors adjustment is not working (never has since I’ve owned it
– I adjust them by hand if necessary).
Some
of the rubber seals on the hood require attention if you intend to take it out
in the rain.
Excellent Good Year Eagle F1 Tyres all round, and distinctive RIB registration number is included.
I have attempted to describe this car as fairly as possible, but there is no substitute for coming to view yourself and satisfied yourself as to what you are buying. I will not release the car until I have seen the cash in my hand or transferred to my bank account. Cash only - No Part Ex.
