The TVR 420SEAC was a sports car , the TVR in Blackpool ( England produced) 1986-1988. It is considered to be the ultimate wedge shape TVR and was also the last of the wedge shape family. The 420SEAC was different from its brothers. The acronym SEAC stands for "Special Edition Aramid Composite" (Eng .: special series made of aramid composite material), which means that more than 20% of the body was made of aramid fibers, while the bodies of the other wedge-shaped models were only reinforced with glass fibersPlastic. The use of aramid made the trolley over 100 kg lighter without affecting its torsional stiffness. This, and the sophisticated Rover V8 engine, made the car extremely fast, but had an impact on the price, which was double the price of a 350i. You can also recognize the SEAC models by their large rear spoiler and round nose. By 1988, when the 420SEAC was replaced by the even more powerful 450SEAC , 40 copies had been built.
