A drawing rather than a picture but should really be included whoever did it well done

I do think the 3000s is one of the most photogenic TVRs built and there are not enough good pictures out there but in a way you can see why some people own them and hardly drive them as just sitting in the drive looking at them with a Mug of tea or a bottle of Magners is a pleasure in itself but thats still no excuse for not driving them
here is a couple of great pictures not sure if they have been on before this thread moves so fast just like good old TVRs

Not sure if this is still in one piece at Zolder he was trying very hard so after a roll of black duct tape was back out again I think I have the right car

I don't think so but the right shape but if it was it was he would have had his eye on this

GRIFF-29 = Griffith 400

It doesn't look like that any more Rene. Now owned by Jamie Boot and repainted

As I took those pictures a few weeks ago at Siverstone Classic Richard that's a rather quick change

The Fiesta XR2 expansion / thermostat housing post dates your car somewhat…are you running 2 pressure caps or is one a fixed blank?

Blank on Rad never overheats even in traffic on a hot day works rather nicely

Old Blue as the owner Don Calls her
Grantura MK3 Originally built for Gerry Sagerman to race Don has widened the arches and fitted wider and larger wheels.
This car is an amazing example of what to use our cars for driven to Most TVR events not Trailered no matter what the distance last month a 1500 mile round trip to attend and the car amazingly has not got a single rattle when I went for a spin great car and a great owner.



Just arrived after a 750 mile drive
