Brake light on the trunk??

[tvrseac]

HmmI`ve looked at other Wedges here in Sweden but haven`t seen any with a brakelight on the trunk. How come my car has one?? I`ve been told that it was factorymade that way. Is this common??

I beleive it was for the US markets they did that, so that is probably where yours was going as it looks left hand drive

Those tyres seriously fill the wheel arches .. what sizes are they .. they look great !

...or at least that may have been the intended destination for the boot lid (trunk if you must ) if not the whole car.

Well, the SEAC was not intended for the US market since they were never approved for sale in the US. My guess is that when the car was built, for whatever reason, they fitted it with a USA-spec bootlid containing the "third brake light" as was required over here. Perhaps something happened to the original bootlid in the production process and they just grabbed what was available at the time.

Jonny: welcome to the forum.

Have never seen a brake light there originally.

I have been talking to Kalle about all the SEAC's in Sweden!

Was you car originally right hand drive ?

Danke Schön!! It`s 225/50-15", but it`s not the size that matters
