I noticed there were a couple 400se's for sale last week and now there's no more ads for them.
Nothing indicates "sold via pistonheads" so I'm guessing the sellers gave up?

If you have a 400se you want to sell, please put your ad back up.

Hi Mike.

Sorry to pull out of the sale but I had no option.

I have found this one advertised that is not on Pistonheads.

Same colour as mine but I don't know the car or its condition.

Cheers,
Lee.

That looks a nice one, I've always liked them in black, not quite sure why I didn't repray mine in black, but probably due to laziness

Just down the road from me in Wolverhampton if anyone want me to view it for them?
Just spoken to the owner, sounds like a good'un but not a minter - basically what you'd expect for the £7k asking price.

Glad somebody else spotted that and mentioned it, wonder why Seamus has it advertised somewhere else?

Well, when I phoned up about it, the guy I spoke to said he had bought it to replace a mica blue 400se minter he had previously sold to someone in south wales and then regretted selling.

The black 400se he has had for about a year but was never as good as the blue one he had originally.

IIRC, Seamus owns SM Autos where this car is for sale, so yes - I'd say it is Seamus's wedge.

Described to me as very good but not pristine.

Yep thats definately my old wedge. I sold it to seamus last April. I would agree with him that is is not a patch on his old 400, but then he had sent a fortune on that car.

I had owned the car for 5 years before selling it, and it only let me down once. The chassis is very good as every year it had a wire brush and repaint as necessay. Paintwork is pretty good, although it does have a few stress cracks in the usual places, and the drivers side front wing has had a repair at some time in its life.

It had just had a new cam fitted before I sold it, but there was still a bit of top end noise (Seamus was going to look at this).

All in all I would say that its a better than average wedge. The price is quite a bit more than I let it go for , so I,m assuming that some work has been carried out since it left me. Anyone in the market, give Sean (seamus) a ring. He's a very genuine guy (even if he is a motor dealer) laugh

That Mica Blue minta is mine, He is right he has regretted it and tells me so whenever we catch up,don't know why he got good money for it and I got my baby, smiles all round .Not true actually it is a corker and I would never sell it , sell an arm or a leg first.Seamus is a good guy and will struggle I think to replace what he sold me.
