The Classic Car Gallery is proud to offer this stunning, ully restored 1988 TVR 420 SEAC. Only 37 of these cars were produced, nd only 7 with left hand drive. The 420 SEAC was a very limited production car. She featured a 300 hp Rover v8, erfect chassis balance, nd a race inspired suspension and underpinnings. THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING LEFT HAND DRIVE TVR 420 SEAC IN EXISTENCE!! These cars were known for their great handling and amazing v-8 sound; this car does not disappoint on either front.
