TVR Wedge
The TVR Wedges are a series of wedge-shaped sports cars built by British specialist sports car manufacturer TVR between 1980 and 1991. There were 2-seat convertibles and 2-seater or 2+2 liftback coupés, with four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines from a variety of manufacturers. The name refers to their sharp-nosed angular shape, particular to the late seventies when they were designed. The Tasmin name was used on most of the 200 and 280i TVRs, as well as for early 350i versions. {, class="wikitable" !colspan=5 , TVR Wedges , - , TVR Tasmin 280i, TVR Tasmin 280i/TVR 280i1980–1987 , TVR Tasmin 2001981-1984 , TVR 350i, TVR 350i/350SX1983–1989 , TVR 350SE1990–1991 , - , TVR 390 SE, TVR 390SE1984–1988 , TVR 420SE1986–1987 , TVR 400SE, TVR 400SE/400SX1988–1991 , TVR 450SE1989–1990 , TVR 400SE, TVR 430SE1991 , - , TVR 420 SEAC1986–1988 , TVR 450 SEAC 1988–1989 TVR vehicles, Wedges Sports cars Rear-wheel-drive vehicles ...

It was the first of TVR's "Wedge"-series which formed the basis of its 1980's model range. The Tasmin/280i was available as a 2-seater coupé, as a 2+2 coupé and as a 2-seater convertible.
