Clutch not working on 400SE.

Car has been standing for a few years, so I think it the clutch stuck to the flywheel.

Will not allow me to change gear when engine is running,

Also if started in gear on stands, and clutch in as soon a I put breaks on engine stops.

I have bleed clutch, with presure bleeder.

Any Think I can do.

I had this a few years ago ( not a TVR though ). In the end we towed the car in gear with foot on the clutch, and eventualy it freed off. The other thing we thought about was to start the car in gear and drive up & down the road with foot on the clutch ( but then the bugger would not start, so we towed instead ).
Of course, this assumes that yours is seized. It could be that one of the cylinders has failed.
