I did consider qualifying it with "road car" (though limited experience of 2002 ) as I assumed someone would bring up M12!
S14, S38, S50, S54, S70 etc......
In fairness I rate non-M NA engines almost as highly.

It looks like the SEAC engine was full of good stuff but as you say all standard race tuning methods and was developed by two well known performance engine development firms in the midlands John Eales and Graham Nash. No mention anywhere in any of the authoritative Wedge books about Peter Wheeler flying people in from the US to guide them. David Sims documents the SEAC cars on his site, he's a big name in the TVR Club and was involved in the development of the SEAC.ferry wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2017 10:22 pmWasn't aware of any special tuning tricks on the SEAC engines. They're stroked Rover V8s with basic tuning practices used. Given we're talking late 80s it's a bit before my time.Ewazix wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2017 6:50 pmReally? I'd have said that unless you have a Brummy accent and your name is John Eales or Graham Nash you might be 'exaggerating' just a littleValor1 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2017 1:40 am
By way of background, ............ I developed an engine configuration while still in college that Peter Wheeler rather liked. So much so he flew me to Blackpool where I spent several weeks at the factory developing this engine which found its way into a SEAC ...........
Anyway, unfortunately nobody can answer your question but were all petrol heads and would love to see the 'collection'
I wonder what's true and what he made up.
If you do a little research you will find someone with the same username and 'linguistic style' from California (who previously lived elsewhere) has, shall we say, made a 'name' for-himself on Ferrari and Porsche forums talking deals on $150k cars ("douche-bag" being one of them). Also hangs out on gun and combat knife forums and has apparently claimed to be a Beverly Hills lawyer, International car dealer, a big-shot collector and now, as we know an engine designer.
Classic
It's not compulsory reading ........... and anyway we still don't know if his car IS unique or not
But do we really care
Honestly, no!
