New SEAC acquisition
Discussion
Did contact Dom, but no info yet. If you have another source please let me know (the email address on PH is obsolete and you can't change it!), but I'm also in your group on FB.
The car has only done 17K miles from new and it shows. No longer perfect, but I'll be trying to get it as close as possible in the coming months and years. I'm sure I will be asking lots of questions that have been asked before and which I probably knew the answer to 22 years ago when I last owned a wedge too!

Thanks for all the positive feedback.
Will do more pictures but currently working though the immediate list of things (~30 so far) that needs fixing and that is before I get underneath.
One thing I've found is a broken 'collar' on the steering column that hold the indicator/wiper switches in place (so it is wobbly). Any idea if still available and if so where from (nothing on TVR Parts)?

was it advertised for sale or was it a through-the-grapevine purchase? Had I known it was available I would have sold something to buy it myself (kidney, leg, cerbera ..) such is my misty eyed emotion seeing it again after all these years!
About 12 years ago I had the chance to buy quite a nice seac for 9 grand. Kicking myself now!
Was a through-the-grapevine purchase. Been looking for a good one for years. Seen many, no all I think, that have come up over the last few years, but all required more expertise than I have to put right and hence didn't make financial sense if I had to pay for an engine rebuild and/or respray and/or re-trim and/or body-off chassis work. This one is a true Aramid Composite example which means lighter, but poor shut-lines and wavy surface, but I can live with that! On the plus side, it was obviously originally owned by someone that got it into as good as possible condition and probably never used it in the wet, so it is more like a 3 year old car than 31 years old in terms of condition.About 12 years ago I had the chance to buy quite a nice seac for 9 grand.
