If you are after 'rare' then the 430 is shirley the one to go for IMHO, I beleive 5 of these existed, of which a few are in europe AFAIK.

I Would like to find out more about the engine in the 450 and how much extra money people are asking for them.
I know that the 400 pops and crackles on the over run and sounds great!
A few years ago my dad had a late(1990) 450SEAC, this did not do this as it was fitted with a hot wire engine, are the 450se's the same?,I know there was about 18 450 SEAC's made.
I have only ever seen 3 or 4 450se so am interested to find out more about them

The first (and hopefully the last) lax power wedge ive seen. Twin pipes look good though.

It really saddens me to see something like this.

The only good thing is the twin exhaust. The wheels look stupid, and can you imagine getting a new rear light if you damaged it. It's hard enough trying to get standard bits!!

And the price is just unbelievable!!! Anyone want my 390SE for £8K - a snip compared to this 450!!

Good idea, some phrase about a bargepole comes to mind!

Redcar has a 450SE, mail him if you want to see a proper car thats not been barstardized. He's not selling though as far as I know.

Strange thing to do to such a rare car I was shocked when I first saw it.

Not looking to buy a car at the moment just seeing whats around and get an idea of prices etc and how hard its going to be to get a original car in good condition.
