1991 TVR 450 SEAC CONVERTIBLE

This is a very rare TVR 450SEAC which has been modified and sports a 460SEAC badge for the reasons below.

Cross-bolted custom built 4.6 engine, cost to modify the engine was £4000, which has all the power of a 450, (circa 330 bhp) but has a much broader torque curve. It has 4.6 Lightened and Balanced, Pocketed Pistons, extra Oil Ways, Modified Big Value Heads, Hybrid 200 cam, Large Plenum Top, Large Trumpet Base, Fully Polished and Ported heads, Rocker covers have been stove enamelled in Pearl Red, with a polished TVR logo. Polished Plenum Chamber. Polished Airflow Meter. Polished Stainless Induction Pipe. Radical ignition set (the plug leads inserted through polished stainless tubes). Bought from Radical Ignitions – this is the 1st set for a fuel injected V8. Stainless braiding throughout. Hand Polished X Spoke OZ Wheels

Painted in Monza Red with full Black Leather that was replaced at a cost of over £2000, which includes a superb set of lumbar adjusting Recaro seats. All polishing was done by one of the previous owners or at M&G Metal-finishers at Sowerby Bridge.

There is a full Stainless Steel Exhaust with a one-of silencer designed by Act Products and was manufactured by JP Exhausts in Macclesfield. The cost of silencer alone was £215 and the exhaust has since been modified further with a side exit pipe. Fitted with Griffith stainless roof struts, a push-button start and a roll cage with race harnesses.

The roll cage looks stunning and has certainly tightened the handling, and of course with the obvious safety benefits. The car has won a lot of Concours competitions but the real pleasure is driving a car that looks and sounds like nothing else! This is the very last of the limited SEAC’s to be made. The last three were special order and of course, this is one of them. It has a very comprehensive Service History, and as you see from the pictures, it is in superb condition. The car is said to drive superbly and the sound is glorious. It is the easiest car to drive and you will never be able to remove the smile when you are behind the wheel. This is a true collector's piece and will only keep going up and up in value because of its rarity, its condition and its pedigree
