TVR 420 SEAC

This TVR 420 SEAC is an unusual example of the wedge-era V8 cars, fitted with an early all-carbon-fibre body and rarer 16-inch OZ wheels in place of the usual 15s. It was originally red, then fully restored by TVR specialist David Gerald, finishing in 2004 in the grey it wears today.

The engine is a 5.1-litre V8 Developments unit built by JE Developments, replacing the original. In the last four years the carbon airbox has been refurbished and the ignition upgraded by Northampton Motorsport, at a cost of over £7,900. Nitron suspension was fitted by Track V Road (£5,800), the gearbox has been refurbished and the geometry set up by Centre Gravity. Other work includes an alloy radiator, Act carbon plenum and trumpets, an Accusump oil reservoir and a Bentley Birdseye Maple dash veneer.

It has covered 65,090 miles and has a photographic history, including a feature in Cars and Conversions magazine. The asking price includes a front-end respray to deal with stone chips. The private plate 37 5EAC is not included and costs an extra £3,000; the car's current registration is F171DGK. The dealer lists a fresh service and MOT.
