Unknown SEAC discovered

[cantus]

Yesterday evening I had a look at this rare 420SEAC. This original registration is as far as I know not known in the SEAC register.
The car is in the Netherland for 21 years now and is in bad shape but a good car to restore. Engine is equiped with 4 downdraft carburators.
The owner passed away a couple of years ago and the car is now for sale.

A good project but please don't paint it yellow and re-badge it as a 390SE.

[rev-erend]

It has a very strange dash layout - not seen one like tht before!

[matt-man]

How has it been there for 21 years and still on UK plates?!

Crazy looking dash - a lot of work but a good project for someone with some serious time!

Good luck the lucky buyer!

A Seac went missing here a number of years ago alledgedly stolen abroad. I am not saying that this is the car but I know the original owner still posts on Pistonheads.

Do you have any chassis details?

You mean the chassisnumber ?

[rev-erend]

I know the guy in Surrey that had one stolen .. it was a crashed car and was stored in his garage and some stole the crashed car.

I'll email him this thread - as it might be of interest to him.

Number plate two out from the SEAC currently in classifieds. Owner clearly liked their music as looks as if dash fabricated to accommadate the sound system ?

Four downdrafts as well..........any more pics

I think it is glass because kevlar looks awfull after 22 years.

It is up to Dries !

And no !! Not for my collection. De Long Kenian is in crisis too.

Ed , handbrake is likely underneath steering wheel where it traps the fingers !

I think I remember the car at a Brands track day in the early 90's - I kept a note of it from the time for some reason in a notebook - same reg., dark grey, black hood, full grey leather interior with red piping, NOT kevlar, grey carpets, Tuscan race engine on carbs.

See if I can find more on it.

ETA - right, it wasn't one of the SEAC's at Brands in '93. Racking my brain to think where / when I saw it. Maybe up at TVR Centre at Barnet???
