Yeah - it's my car......

Looks like Gareth wanted it pretty bad as well.

My words are failing me. I can't begin to describe how I feel about the winner timing his bid within seconds of closure to make sure nobody had a chance of topping it. With over 380 purchases flagged by eBay, he must have got this last second bidding down to a fine art.

Why do I have a suspicion that I'm shortly going to get an email from them offering to sell me the publication, plus a tasty commission.

They must be making a friggin fortune out of eBay.

At least you have a real one but still must be a pain for that to happen. Seems a lesson for us all, watch out for the ebay stalkers...if you can.

Steve, I’m really touched..
Much as I would love to have the publication it would also make me feel pretty bad to deprive you of your ideal birthday present. Full marks to your Mrs.

If I was in your shoes then I suspect that I’d be collecting anything SEAC related (I still am!). I didn’t know of this publication and it’s an exciting discovery. My SEAC didn’t make it into the SEAC Special Edition of Sprint (Aug 94); the only previous appearance I’ve located was an Autocar road test which you can read online at www.tvrwedgepages.co.uk

My conscience might let me get away with acquiring the original if I could sweeten the deal. Perhaps I could host the two of you for a weekends TVR fest; I could organise a mini-convoy for a good blat through the fantastic scenery in this part of world or invite you to an event such as Gang on the Green (last years Gorge Rumble was just a warm up, this is going to be MEGA. July 20th, full details in Sprint soon). I’m sure I should be able to find a couple of passenger seats (including my SEAC) even if you don’t have your own SEAC by then.

Just a thought – I’ve heard on the grapevine that Patrick Deary might be selling TVR 420X. This white 420 SEAC has achieved a certain celebrity status as it appeared on the front cover of Classic and Sports Car a couple of years ago along with a fantastic feature.

For some reason Patrick’s SEAC is very very much louder than mine or Brm Brm’s. It is absolutely awesome. Check out the Duxford SEAC video on the downloads page of www.tvrcc-bristol.co.uk and you will see exactly what I mean.
