Does anyone know of an exceptional 400/450SE which is - or may be - coming up for sale?

Car must be in near perfect condition ie chassis/suspension/body/paint/hood should ideally be well maintained/restored etc, etc.

I have spoken to most of the Car Club ROs and done the usual PH searches etc... Nothing out there of much interest right now.....

I own a beautiful Series 3 Vixen which has just undergone a 2 yr rebuild and am delighted with it. However, I miss the sheer grunt/acceleration/noise of my old wedgie. I owned my 350i for 2 years and loved every minute of it. Nothing but good memories.

Hope you can help.

Emma

ps the Vixen is not for sale!

Well you just missed Martin's (Redcar) 450SE - which was superb..

Don't know of any others that good which are currently for sale.

I know - we went to see Martin's car 10 days ago but sadly the new owner, Tim, had contacted Martin the day before and was given 1st refusal. Never mind - we will just have to keep looking.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes - I'm going to look at it on Saturday. Can't be driven though because it's having a new clutch fitted. Does anyone know anything about this car?? I have been told it hasn't had any major work done to it - it's all original... which is probably not a good thing as it will cost £000's to bring up to scratch in the next couple of years.

Just out of interest, why isn't a SEAC on your shopping list?

My partner doesn't like the rear spoiler!! I have tried persuading him otherwise but sadly to no avail.... ;-(

Also, I understand the body moulds are unavailable now for the SEAC - is this true?

Richard - do you know of any really good big wedgies out there??

Not too sure about the body parts. But would not think it to be a problem.
Only really know of the ones discussed. But I do have every advert for Wedges that have been put on PH classifieds over the last year (sad i know) on my hard drive. I could sort the big ones out and send to you.
