I haven't forgotten Joolz, but no plans to sell for a while. Seems to get lots of positive responses and won a prize at BBWF a few weeks ago too! cool
Well deserved prize too

To add to Paul's note in the sausage meet thread; there's two stainless steel chassis road car SEACs about, mine and Adrian R's, (aderut on pistonheads), he may want to chime in... He bought it new and has all the history. The history of mine is known too (Barry Zee's car, appeared in Autocar magazine May 1987).

I spoke to Chiris Schirle in detail about this (and he's seen my car recently and confirmed it's heritage). The stainless chassis idea was for the racing cars to save weight and increase stiffness, two were constructed for racing and started out with trailing arm rear suspension; at least one was converted to A-arm but that car has subsequently lost it's original chassis and gone back to a mild steel one . Two 'spare' stainless race chassis were built; these were sold off as road cars when TVR pulled out of racing - these are Adrian's car and my car.
