420 SEAC (1986) Value?
Discussion
Hi All,
Whilst scouring a car yard, I could not believe it upon finding a 420 SEAC (1986) holed up in the corner. It was covered by a broken tarpaulin, open to the elements and looking very sorry for itself. Hasn't been looked at and started for over 3 years and apparently a complete car ( engine all there etc).
Any ideas what this is worth as I am definitely interested? Obviously it probably has major issue with the chassis but I'm interested because it is a genuine 420 SEAC with a HUGE exhaust tailpipe! 😀
Cheers

Hi All,
Sorry about the delay but I have not been down to see the 420 SEAC lately and managed to see it again at the weekend plus finally speak to the owner.
Confirmed it is a "D" reg plus apparently the 3rd off the production line and a kevlar model. It is black/ dark grey with a massive exhaust out the back which made me smile! I snatched a few phone photos from the back but I apologise for not downloading them - my android phone is not connecting with anything at the moment!
The owner is a very nice bloke with an attachment to the car and does not really want to sell but would for the right price! Having spoken to him at length I feel he has too much of an attachment and would be asking too much. Im concerned that it has sat outside for a few years under a ripped tarpaulin and is now obviously just open to the elements which is really sad. The nearside front wheel arch has damage from another car plus the usual sitting around dilemmas that would be double with a TVR and moreso with a SEAC model. This definitely means a kevlar repair plus the usual brakes, engine, interior and god knows what other resto issues.
Im personally interested but do not know what to offer as I don't want to offend but also do not want to pay too much either! Is the 420 SEAC in this condition worth fretting over?
Any thoughts?

That's the one.
Well done Wooly350i.
Line up fellas - Tony will sell it but you will have to contact him yourself and discuss it with him.
Unfortunately, I did not realise the "provenance" of this car and unfortuantely do not have the funds required.
Oh well, I will just have to be satisfied with the Cerbera! 😀😀
I wish Tony good luck with the sale.

Well it looks like the car will be made good after all which is great.
Wooly350i - Not sure how I've done wrong though as I genuinely was interested and and would never have placed anybody else's details etc on public pages. I'm glad my original post has stirred up the interest and hopefully got the car back to former glory - whoever the owner is.
