Seifert later became a classic car dealer, who was based in both Germany and Belgium. Raced a privately owned Lotus in the early 1960's, often in tandem with his friend Wolfgang Seidel, but also appeared in sportscars and GT racing from 1960 until 1962. After 1963, Seifert appears to have stopped racing altogether to concentrate on his car buying and selling roles. He sold exhausts and wheel rims for Fiat Abarths as well as other racing accessories. He was also one of the first commercial sellers of slot car tracks and other equipment in Germany.
