The Appeal
With its distinctive wedge shape, aggressive characteristics and distinctive, bellowing engine tone, the 400SE is a particularly remarkable example of a British sports car. There are few British sports cars that come closer to American-style brashness.
This particular example has been carefully maintained and upgraded, without losing that essential character. The car has been upgraded to a 4.3 engine by Wedge1 Auto, enhancing its performance. It also features a Mark Adams Tornado Chip and ACT manifolds and exhaust, further improving its performance.
This remarkable car has been resprayed in Italian Red and ceramic coated, which suits the car down to the ground. With a comprehensive history and significant investment in extensive rebuilds and maintenance, this TVR 400SE is a well-documented and well-cared-for classic.
