Aw - c'mon yoose guys!
It's not the same with none of you taking potshots at me and my Wedge anymore!
Let's hear the latest daft suggestion! Can you see tyre tracks on the moon? Perhaps it went to the moon and back before it was registered?
For chrissake! - I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

Crikey Steve! - I thought you had a sense of humour. On special offer at Woolworth this week!
Cuneus - there are no letters stating the car is an SEAC - the records that show the car as an SEAC are held by TVRCC and this information has been taken from TVR records. I have asked for a photocopy of those records - alas without success.
There is a letter from TVR saying the car has an engine of 4230 cc, and another letter from TVR Centre that says they have no record of the car.
Toodlepip!

Well, Cuneus -
I believe the information about the car being a 420 SEAC came from him (Richard Sails) - and from his predecessor Mervyn Larner.
Mervyn told me when I called him that he had had several enquiries about the car and he told them the same that he told me! So therefore there will be one or two of you that already knew the information on the car.
** I have now trawled through emails on my 'normal/ business' email address.
The information held by TVRCC has been confirmed several times - that the car is shown as being a TVR 420 SEAC. The information came from Ralph Dodds, Grant somebody (I do apologise to him for forgetting his surname), and Richard Sails.
Prior to this Mervyn Larner had told me over the 'phone that the build sheet for the car showed it to be a TVR 420 SEAC, metallic black, with modified windscreen aperture. He mentioned that others had enquired about the car.
Upon further emails between me and Richard Sails the car was confirmed as a 420 SEAC from information taken from TVR records. He corrected me regarding the build sheet - apparently the information was not contained on the build sheet as I had previously been advised but was taken from records made from TVR factory records.
Mr Sails commented that whilst the car would not be considered on first sight to be an SEAC the records state that it is.
I hope this helps.
cheers!

Wotcha Wedgers -
I had left this thread to lie as I felt it had all been said and done.
However, due to various illnesses in the family over the last few months, the passing of my mother, and ultimately my own hospitalisation with a heart attack, I have been unable to pursue any further investigations as to the history of the car.
The Rev-erend will be interested to know that a recent stone chip has revealed some red paint underneath.
I have always accepted, along with many others and in tune with suggestions from some, that the car is a 420 SEAC that has, for reasons unknown, different bodywork.
Interesting information about the book. The description of the photo suggests (as has been put forward) that this is a depiction of the car as it appeared in the auction catalogue before the front bumper was fitted.
Felicitations and Jollifications!
