Peter wheelers SEAC
Discussion
It's up for sale. http://www.tvr-webmart.co.uk/tvr_full_advert.asp?a...
Hi
Amos puts this up for sale every now and again, to get interest in his other cars.
If I remember she is either the 2nd or 3rd road going SEAC.
Nice car but even I would not think or pay £28,500 for it, no matter how much History it may have! Yes Peter Wheeler did use it for a little while.
Then he usual had another car to use after a month or so!
The "White Elephant" was the only wedge Peter had for a reasonable length of time.

Interesting it has a 350-style dash, is this true of all SEACs? If not does that make this rare?
I also note the number plate too
Taken from the most definitive SEAC website - I also note the number plate too

The first 3 had 350 style dashes (and 2 part rear bodywork) changing to a new style with four gauges in top centre with no bulky box of switches arid radio etc. Later 450's had the dash with five gauges in top centre and turned slightly towards the driver. I believe that there are 1 maybe 2 stainless chassis cars about, one probably was Peter Wheeler's own SEAC.
I think its worth the asking price but it needs the right person to come along....

Well spotted Ron I thought I was good at spotting ads but that's the second ad you've spotted now, well done mate
You would think that the "halo effect" of such a magnificent machine would drag up the value of a humble 350i. Alas, no.
It is an absolute fact that the interesting vehicles I sell then gain in value e.g. 1966 Mini, 1969 Mini, elderly AJS. The vehicles I keep are cursed with minimal appreciation.

I missed out on buying this SEAC in 2010, it was up for £12,500 at David Gerald at the time but just missed out on it 
i remeber the advert................when you think how many SEAC were made, not many about, they must be sitting in some garage. or even out in the open just like like the s/s resto (i keep driving in hope, on day)chj said:
I had a good chat on the phone with A C Roney before selling the red 420seac last year - an interesting chap.
If I remember correctly, I later noticed that the first person to MOT the red seac in '89 had the name A Croney.
How strange is that?
You are correct Chris (have the paperwork on my lap) - AC Roney was the MOT tester at Merridale Motors in Cricklewood with mileage at 32647 on 16.6.89 - not bad mileage in 34 months !If I remember correctly, I later noticed that the first person to MOT the red seac in '89 had the name A Croney.

Hi Steve,
I thought the blue race car at Track V Road has a stainless chassis with trailing arm rear suspension; and therefore is likely to be one of the original 390SE race cars with a SEAC nose grafted on. I haven't seen this car though so I cannot confirm that.
My research says that there were two 390SE racers with trailing arms and stainless chassis; One as above, then the other 390SE racecar morphed into the SEAC racer and was modified to 'A' frame rear suspension in the process.
There were then two additional stainless chassis built as spares/development/additions for the race car; these were passed on to customers when the race car got banned and are under D177ALL and D488PHG.
I stand to be corrected if anyone else knows otherwise!
