Well I had a pleasant surprise - saw a Blue 420 SEAC
'D' reg on the A3 on my way to work... very nice.

They will never be common - I just hope people will
use them rather than keep them in garages either
being pampered or re-built !

Quote of something heard last night at TVRCC Surrey..

"I couldn't be bothered with dinner so I fixed the SEAC instead..."

A man truly worthy of his steed!!!

Where are they all? We've got Nacnud, Rev and Stainless on here as 3 of the 18 450 owners, me and I think one other recent new buyer with 420's thus 2 of 32 so where are the rest - probably in mothballs hoping to become Ferrari 250 GTO's of the future

Can certainly tell you where one is .......... Peninsula !!!

After having led a very sheltered life over the last few years , about a thousand miles a year , YLP is suffering from shock , 1500 miles in two weeks and she's suffering .

Hopefully get her back in about 10 days , beans on toast for the rest of the year .

I know of 3 blue 420's (one i know very well) all of which to my knowledge are still "in use",
I always used them on a daily basis and believe they are better for it.

In the first year there were a few different cars used for press / articles, i think some were customer cars, Peter Wheeler had a Blue one, they also used a black one (which was originally silver) for the 1986 motorshow. they liked silver! in 87 the showed a silver 420 and in 88 they showed Stainless Steves Silver 450. I think it looked good with indoor lighting, red looks nice though
