Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

Only 35 were built, with 34 of them being right-hand drive. (The only LHD is rumoured to have been bought, of course, by the Sultan of Brunei.)

Of that number, just four are thought to be taxed and in regular use with another eight being on SORN, making them as rare as they are eye-catching.

Still in the hands of the chap who bought it new, ‘J273 EFU’ is a Ruby Mica TVR 450SE. Supplied by Team Central TVR on the 1st of August 1991, it comes with one of the best-documented histories we’ve seen.

Thought to be one of the last, if not THE last, 450SE ever built, factory records in the history file shows the build began in June, with the car being delivered two weeks before the 1st of August 1991, which contradicts popular wisdom that they didn’t build any 450SEs that late…

Only for sale as his advancing years are making it hard for him to get under the bonnet to maintain it, this is a true Collector Grade example of a genuine British legend.
