Why dosent the seller not sell and some one car restore this SEAC to some sort of glory, on another thread some one mensioned the car may not be totaly paid for oridunaly so owner ship may be a problem or some thing like that...
If so cant we not get a court order and bring it home, this car needs some love and it isnt getting it where is it now...very sad i think.
Still nice wedge, is there any more pics of this beastie.....

What a wedge...What a shame..Is it true that the original engine was taken out and crated up..(possibly in the same garage) and a 3.5 was put in because of emission laws?..Now that is fked up!!..This car like the white elephant should be restored and recommissioned as part of british car production history..Ziga

I read that it was a BOSS 6.6 litre from the USA and it was based on a chevrolet block..Acclaimed 572 bhp..It was built as a one off for a scandinavian but why did he not want it after requesting its unique build?..What did he drive in its place?...Why has it just sat there doing nothing?..Surely this car is just too good to waste...Its got to be the ultimate wedge..Now wheres my lottery tickets...Ziga

Engine was built by Donovan and was a detuned race engine of the 6.6 litre V8 variety. I sent an article from the local Blackpool Gazette that was part of the "Wheels" motoring suppliment to the TVR club archivist a few years ago when I came across the article again in my "magazine" collection.

TVR Sprint magazine republished the article a year or so after I sent it in. I'll have a dig around and see if I can scan it for you boys to drool over!!

A real shame Steve couldn't get the 660 back to blighty. Let's hope one day the current owner(s) change their collective minds and the car is restored back to its former glory (and brought back to the UK).
