I don't think so, its a 390SE road car which was used for racing by Chris Schirle partner who used to race it, which then when sold was used as a Hill climb car. That if its the car which Track v Road had for sale for over a year. The SEAC pages doesn't recognise its a SEAC, just because its got a detachable SEAC nose on it doesn't make it a SEAC.

It turns out it is one of the factory 420 seacs.

Sorry its not, its a 390SE road car with a detacable SEAC nose section fitted just like a 350SE which is used for racing in a white and green colour scheme, which has been up for sale on and off for the last 18 mths.It turns out it is one of the factory 420 seacs.
David Gerald's Motorsport made the 390SE car in question into the car it is in now, for Chris Schirle business partner to race. They then sold it at the same time as the sold the 420SEAC factory race car to Jeff Statham in 1991. I have a copy of the advert for anybody who wants to know!
OK this car has a 420SEAC decal on it but this was fitted when it was painted by Track V Road a year or so ago. If you don't believe me ask John Mileczek as he knows the history better than most.
Another person who can tell you is the keeper of the SEAC records.

I met John Mleczek at Back Home in '97 (TVR's 50th), he was conducting factory tours and was reminiscing about some of the issues with the Wedges (such as the bonnets collapsing with engine heat)... good to hear he's still going!
Cool...Why not come and see him 20 years later...

Hi IanYes John is still going strong, he rang me last week for the usual hour long chat and his health is very good.
Unfortunately he doesn't have a wedge any more, which he does regret.
