David Gerald SEAC
Discussion
Neil:
This is the same car that Bauer Millett had for sale, and couldn't sell for the last 1.5 years; Started at 16,495 Pounds and was reduced over that time to 14495 Pounds. Never sold, and apparently Gerald made a deal with Bauer Millett. I believe it to be a 1986, not 1987 as advertised by David Gerald. It does not have the side turn signal indicators as 1987 models should have, and it has the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. sweeping gauges with no redline on the tach as early SEAC's seem to have. The car is the 4th SEAC produced (courtesy of Mervy Larner TVRCC), is fully Aramid, and is THE blue car on the 4-page 420 SEAC Brochure. I looked at the car, and it needed few things; it's not Karl Cordwell perfect. I was really in the market for a 450 SE at the time, and found one and purchased it in April.
Hope this helps

Sprint in August 1994 reported that there were only three Kevlar bodied SEACs left in existence, maybe less now.... I've also heard that it is Peter Wheelers old SEAC. This has got to be one collectable beasty.
However - I've heard a rumour that the mechanicals are not as good as the rest of the car looks; including low oil pressure. Whatever - Get the mechanicals checked thoroughly by someone who knows what they are looking at.
I reckon the price is darned good for a SEAC, especially with its authenticity and history. I'd consider despite knowing it needed some work. Happy Hunting - Duncan

The first 10 cars where full kevlar, cars built after had a mix of kevlar & glass ( aramat is the trade name)
there where also 4 or 5 carbon fibre & glass 420SEAC's.
all SEAC's except 1 or 2 have a large rose joint at the lower suspension arm, a few were fully rose jointed. the early cars were lighter, for example a 390 body is twice as thick.
