It's up as POA as expect you know, so don't want to destroy his market, but ~£5k more than I'd be happy to pay.

I was thinking about asking him, but was also hopping David would have purchased it, then we would have the car at the fest.
Amos is a nice bloke but he can be a bit allusive at times.
But will be giving him a call, so we can have as many SEAC's to the fest as we can!

I see your looking to scratch that wedge itch again then David?

Very interested to see what you end up with and hope you make the BBWF if you get something. Would be very nice to meet at last.

Hi Rob, good to see you have my old Wedge, she was a good one. Many a happy mile was spent behind the wheel!
With the ACT Sports exhaust fitted..she sounded good too!


I should have a pic or 2..





Here's a famous formation shot, taken one early morning on the M40.
I think some of the other co-conspiritors were Seamus, Reverend, Redcar, Steve, Nick & myself...was a good few years ago now!





This was my last Wedge, a 450 SEAC, sadly exchanged for a house. irked






Good days.. 'IF' you ever decide to sell, give me a call. wink

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the piccys,

The wedge sure seems a good one so i think i may keep this one for a long while yet, but you never know what is around the corner.

It would be good to see you at the BBWF, i could give you a blast of your old steed. Andy may even let you rag the SEAC about a bit!!!!

Thanks

How do chaps, oh dear... this is not good, you have me feeling that old itch again!

Rob, she is a good one. I had that 400 a few years & never had a problem with her, plenty of compliments though, & she still looks great in white. Wood trim has been replaced, looks nice.


Andy, the interior on the SEAC is also looking good, much better than the carbon fibre trim. Is that the trim I bought but didn't get round to fitting?

Would be good to catch up & see the cars again. Not sure I would drive either of them though. When they belong to others its safest to look only I think. wink



Right...where's the Wedge for sale section?

No thats not the same trim! The one you gave me with the car didn't fit, "Hotty" came up trumps and did a special one for me!

Ref driving the car I have no problems with you driving it! Especally as I will not be able to, it needs to be driven and who better than the previous owner!

Wayne.

It would be great to see you at the fest and you can have a blast in my wedge no problem, see if the itch is still really there.

Go on you know you want to.

Hi Rob/Andy,

Would be great to meet & catch up, & seeing both Wedges would be nice.
I'm in Hungary around the Fest time but should be back in time, so if I can make it..I will.

Good to see both cars are being owned & cared for by yourselves, clearly they could not be in better hands.
They were both superb examples of their marque & greatly missed by myself.

I will be back one day, sooner maybe...


Edit..

Just a few (more) old pictures of the 400 & SEAC. (apologies for the small ones!)









Couple of interest, parked with another 450 SEAC. Cannot remember the owners name but he had rebuilt the entire car.













Finally...my last 400SE (pre SEAC)




  • Apologies for the 'stroll down memory lane' it's certainly awakening that 'itch' again!
