Sad SEAC

[cuneus]

OK for a bit of fun what's missing from the body in the first pic ?

[The Hatter]

Stripes? I'm wondering about that.

Well done!

I wondered too but then I looked at the press photo's of D488 PHG from 1987 and it has no stripes

If its an early one is it kevlar !

Body looks too smooth. Mine looks like a peter's pie crust! Yum.

I've traced the owner now. He knows exactly what it is, so dreams of getting it for a song are now shattered!!!

It's in a sorry state though.

Now that is really taking the biscuit...I know its called a foot well but its not meant to be a well..Did you find any sticklebats in there..That is distgusting...I spose you could always keep it as a foot spa.

Is he some sort of si?...Lets all go round there and give him a effing good kicking.

Big shame mate.

I suppose he would rather let it rot than let it go cheap and be restored..

Well, I suppose it costs pretty much the same to totally re-build an extremely rare and sought-after SEAC as a 'lesser' Wedge', the only difference being initial purchase price.

However, when the same two cars are finished and back on the road, values will be vastly different, the SEAC being by far the better investment...as well as a brilliant car of course

[grahamw48]

Oh, and from today I'm Regional Manager for a company selling static 'mobile' homes in Portugal and Spain if anyone wishes to help me buy a Wedge.

+1 and is he going to restore it or sell it to you?

[The Hatter]

Very good questions, both.

1) Long story...

2) Fingers and all other appendages crossed.

Good luck

[aderut]

Hope all that finger crossing pays off. It would be great to have another SEAC back on the road where it belongs.

[stainless_steve]

10k + to restore it though,i'm spending well over 20K restoring/mildly tuning(over 500 horses) an M

[MPoxon]

Good luck Martin, would be great to see this SEAC restored.

[grahamw48]

Is this one of the few...or an imposter ?

Very much the IMPOSTER. This car was up for sale acouple of years ago, so there were loads of photos available, claims were made that it was one of the THREE factory race cars. Check out the very NON-SEAC sills.

Don't tell the Dutch.....
