Smile My other beast too...

Had a few of these now, TVR's. Chimaera, Griffith. Got a 420SE Wedge at the mo. 1 of only 7 or so ever created.

This one has a specially built 4.4 litre Rover V8. High lift cam, roller rockers, big valve heads etc. Built by J.E.Engineering. Just under 300bhp & 700kg lighter than the 8.

Almost bought one in the 80's (bank wouldn't let me have the money) and always had a soft spot for them.
Enjoy

Used to see an SEAC regularly in bristol for years - pretty sure was also a soft top in red. Last seen with the front end mashed up and in a local specialist for repair, but that was prob 12+ years ago!

V cool and sound awesome - prob come out the other side of a slightly naff image now?
