Just sent Pietro and add for Decembers Sprint!
The SEAC
Can't justify £10k's worth of motor sat doing nothing with the racer sat next to it and the need to put a deposit on a new abode.
Guess the crunch will come when/if someone calls/views it - it wouldn't be the first time I couldn't bring myself to sell a car (still got my 1982 Audi Quattro)

What do you mean 'summer'? 138 miles yesterday with the hood off and out this morning in the fresh air. Lovely! Car is on the drive now with the hood off.

Gary, no expert on this but I would have thought you were too cheap by several thousand ££££'s. I've never seen your car and don't know the history but it looks the dogs nadgers in the pictures IMHO

On the other hand it shouldn't hang around too long, I would have bitten your arm off if it were a few months back.

How can you only manage 300 miles a year, I can't keep out of mine! Hang on to it, you know it you should!

Good luck with the sale (not that you'll need it), although I am sure it won't be long before you find an excuse to have another one on the drive - would have gone for it myself had it not been for the continued investment in the 400.

Don't buy this SEAC ....it is a wreck....low oil pressure ,runs hot ,body is a wreck ,wheels tatty ,holey roof, runs like a bag of spanners on fire ...my FIAT Punto is quicker....your mother wouldn't like it.....

p.s. Garry ,when i've scared off all the other bidders you'll want to take my offer.....i'll have a word with your wife....she'll be on my side

You bet she'll be on your side - I forgot to tell her I was buying it in the first place - (told her when on the way to collect it)
She puts up with my Wedge fettish but whenever I suggest I'll sell one she sais "thats a good idea".
I guess when I was at 5she did have a point.
What'd ye recon to the 4.6 400 as the basis of the engine and body for the Rally car Father Ted?

Tas - nice SEAC.

I'll second the comments that it seems to cheap..
if it looks as good all over as the pictures then
- I would have been a bit highter...

Looks great. Which yellow is it? The bottom pisture looks totally different to the top 2.
