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)

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?

Mate of mine came a visiting the other week in his TR8 (well TR7 with an RV8). Car was a shed - weld on weld on weld - engine was bloo*y good though & had cost him about £6k - he was windging that the car was only worth £1.5k all up - nuff said.
I've got two dealers (i.e. main TVR dealers)asking about the car - that worries me (wouldn't mind if it was guys like sTeVe.R) - is it too cheap. £10k plus fix the few minor bits for say 500-1000 then would it be on the forecourt for £teens in the spring??

Looks like the SEAC's staying -
A few folks were seriously interested.
Martin wanted a mint car so he bought Steve Reids 450SE as I suggested would be a good move and Andy had a stunning 400 but wanted more grunt so I suggested he go for a 4.6 lump which I think he has - good man. I had a few dreamers and a few that felt the gap in the history with the original owner was disconcerting. I had one person complaining about the paint job as lumpy and wouldn't accept it was due to it being a Kevlar body. Did meet some nice Wedge folks who wanted to upgrade either in person, on the mail or over the phone, though.
TVRCC sprint championship it'll be then?
