350SE number 26 on flea?

[KKson]

Okay, confused. I thought there were 25 350SE's built but this one claims to be 26?

Hi mate...There was no number 13 as its was seen as unlucky....

[KKson]

Does that mean that instead of no 13 they added number 26? TVR history makes my head spin.

That's a descriptive ad isn't it??

Hi All

I've been to see Steve and his car today. Short of finding a SEAC project for 5 grand :-) this car has more potential than any other Wedge in need of love I have seen. To be honest if my Wife wasn't being such a ***** it would be mine by now!

The body work looks very good, but hard to tell due to dust. Interior very good. Two yes two sets of SE wheels and tyres. Hood looks good. Windscreen no delamination.

The engine is toast the block I'd cracked. So it will be a none original numbers car. But I suppose a lot are by now.

The chassis looks good and apart from repainting some of it A frames etc and probably doing the rear bushes all looks good. Front suspension has been rebuilt all new and it has new Princess calipers fitted.

The car has been raced and sprinted. Has an updated anti roll bar etc fitted.

Steve is asking no money at all for it really.

If the paint is as good as I suspect this would be one of the best se's I've seen so far

I'm still tempted to get it and prepare for the war that will follow.

Karl.

LOL

My Misses will need locking up if I get another one! She is coming around though. We are in the garden discussing it in an almost adult like manner!

She's on her fourth Mojito and seems pretty chilled at the minute

Anyone got a bid bad Wedge engine they don't want??????

The original engine suffered an oil pump failure mid lap of a race. Steve sent the engine away for a rebuild but the block was cracked.

I don't think it will be coming my way due to the amount I have on at home and at work. (As Mrs Yates pointed out yesterday!)

It will be a cracking car though once done. One of the best coloured SE's for sure.

Hi does anyone have any contact details for Steve ?

I've tried e mailing through e bay with no response.

Is the chassis etc that good and any history on it ?

How flexible on price is he ? i'm intrested as it will be cheaper than ploughing money into the one i already have waiting to be started on stashed down on a farm.

Waiting for your comments.

Mike

My apologies for a lack of a responce .

I tried to email thru ebay off my phone .


Just as a general point up to last week i was re building the engine for next season.

It was only some more of lifes little trials which has stopped me in my tracks.

Regards
steve
