Default 40th SSEi

There is a 40th SSEi in my town.
How rare is this? It'* dark purple, BTW.

It was really dirty when I saw it. Not sure if the guy realizes what he has...

Regards,
Adam

If he knows what he'* got, he could be a member

Generally the Ei had low numbers in 97.

Funny I haven't seen it yet Adam. Where did you spot it? I guess it would have to be a 97 with the badges and vin #'*. I have to watch out for it!

I saw a 40th SSEi a couple weeks ago, I think its the only one I have seen so far. I think it was black. The dark cherry met. should have been the only color for the 40th.

This may be off topic but I saw a 40th se a few days ago while I was working in the drive-thru.

Brian:
It lives in Welland. I've seen it a few times, but only once up close.

I briefly talked to the driver and said, "Nice car" he looked at mine, and said, "You too!"
Only when I pulled away did I see the 40th badge on the roof pillar.

I noticed the SSEi badges when I was talking to him.

Here'* the funny part: After I pulled away, I went and got a coffee thinking about the prod #*. Then, this car was behind me on the road. I pulled over and let him pass, then I followed him!

Yup, I'm a stalker.
He drove off, and I eventually gave up the chase. I've seen him in my neighbourhood a few times, so maybe I'll ask if he'* selling.

I'll let you know!

Adam
