Hopefully not belonging to anyone on here.

SE for sale which probably isn't!

Newbies/prospective owners note that cam covers suggest a non-SE.

Just in case anyone didn't realize I was being ironic with "breaks/brakes" - I was.

OK, will let this thread get back on track now. :roll:

fortunately someone with some knowledge pointed out the car was GRP in the questions!

All seems to point to it being an SE apart from the engine, which is clearly 1985 or prior (well top end, anyway).

A request for a VIN and engine number should de-mystify

But it's "gorges" apart from the peeling "lacker"!

Sorry.. couldn't resist
