Seamus, Nacnud, Rev-erend and Stainless are all in the latest sprint - well the important part is - their cars.
Duncan - no wonder the Earl showed interest in your car - I didn't realise it was on display at Goodwood (Goodwood, front of sprint, press articles all on the car - are you our very own Richard Branson style Wedge Publicity man) Really good shots of the car.

Yeah this months Sprint is a Wedge fest, by Sprint standards!

I thought that one was Seamus's car, you cant mistake the plate! and the SEACS looked lovely as usual.

Hopefully more to come

Andy.

Being a Chim owner, it's OK to see Chim's, but (And I hate to say it) the Wedge owners are always more friendly and there seems more fun involved. I like reading about the Tuscans and T350's, but it seems the enthusiasts are Wedge Owners.

I know what my next TVR will be!

Have any of you seen this months Classic Cars magazine? Under their top ten performance cars, they have the 420 SEAC. The picture shows a SEAC looking exactly like Steves. The number plate is E320EE0. Was this the number before 450 TVR?

Great news for SEAC owners .
BTW that silver car was a 420 press car very similar to Steves inc 16" wheels

OK, lots of SEACs in Sprint, but what about all the 390SEs. Well, all three of them, and I might be wrong because the pictures are so teeny tiny. One in the Chedder Gorge picture in front of the yellow Chimaera, a red one in the South Yorkshire write up, and one next to jmorgans 400SE in the South Wales write up. If I'm wrong, never mind, I'll just open another Bintang lager.

Maybe if I used my Wedges more often rather than look at them and think "I ought to use that or I ought to get that one MOT'd" maybe I'd get photo'd - I did take the SEAC to the 3 counties meet but it was dark

I'm still kicking myself over forgetting my camera for Mania. Would have gone back to the hotel for it if it wasn't for the nadgered fan. Good Wedge photo op.

I hope we get to appear in Sprint when they do a Mania piece, the Wedges were the only model parked all together so hopefully there will be a picture!

God, that was a good event!
It was a real honour for TVR, let alone the TVRCC or me!
This picture sums up a lot of the weekend for me...

In true TVR style, I had to get my hands dirty. Death rattle from the engine turned out to be an inlet trumpet worked loose and bouncing around inside the plenum chamber. Waited for the crowds to die down before cracking the toolkit open though....

Opened the page - saw the car - thought, looks nice wonder whose that is - obviously the wine had taken hold a bit early at that point.. finally dawned and I still found it hard to believe that had finally made it.. Looking forward to next months hopefully with all the wedge photos of mania!
