TVR Vixen S2 1969 WFD 400H

[limjamrace]

Prefer the Mk 1 Cortina rear lights to the Mk 2 on the Vixen / Tuscan..
Another Griffith for sale on the Race Car Direct online site as an example/
Can you post some more pictures of your Crayford Cortina?
I have a mere 4 door saloon ,but has been owned from new ,some 58 years ago.

This Griffiths is still up for sale i read a little while ago..

I was looking for a picture of a early Lola race car that used Mk 1 rear lights,which to me is a proper turn on.but i cannot find it in my gallery.

Such a very long shot ,but decades ago i nearly gained employment at a glass bending premises at Gallows Corner,Romford ,Essex.
I did some research into the company and they specialised in such things..

Other than that . that Reubyn chap who prepares TVR Racers will be sure to know of acquiring one..

[limjamrace]

Excellent, please keep posts like these coming.

[limjamrace]

I was hoping that other Vixen or Tuscan builds or others in use would post on here..

Especially competition ones.

Much appreciated!

Love seeing the re-birth of Vixens..

Another Marigold colour it appears Keith W.

Just found out that Ricky Evans Motorsport make laminated windows from blanks on jigs ,
Located Tamworth Staffs ..Carriage avaialble also..
Maybe they can help
Tell them that Llewellyn Imp Motorsport recommended them to you.

Gutted it is not mine again..

So pleased that you reached the place where i failed after some 25 years.

Do hope that this isn`t the end of it`s presence on here!!

[limjamrace]

Looks like Tissue to me from the picture although i cannot see too well.
.
Thanks for the posting Ron#V and may you continue to keep the site going on a new generation build of a Vixen.

Marvelous..Keep these posts a coming people !

There seems to be loads of Vixens coming on in the world ..Must be the latest discovery after other marques have gone through the historic vehicle
financial roof.

[limjamrace]

Welcome ..So glad you have been in contact..As you might know i started this thread ,or is it posting ,and will enjoy anything that you have plans for
WFD in the future..

[limjamrace]

B.R.G ay!

Stirred up memory of a holiday at Inverness,Scotland in 1991 ish , when just walking down the road from the caravan site an immaculate TVR Vixen S2
was parked up in British Racing Green..Looked so swell !
Not as good as Marigold ,but still looking great..

[limjamrace]

Oh,i was hoping that Ron the new owner would be contributing still on here.
Feels like i have lost contact with WFD again after rediscovering it some years ago via Keith.

Is that modelling clay ?

Forming a buck?

Been known to do a bit of laying up myself

[limjamrace]

So that is the buck and the blue stuff is PVA release agent ?

[limjamrace]

From what i can make out that appears to be a bulge placed on a marigold coloured front end ,or is it a bulge placed on an original front end as a buck then a mould taken from the buck with the end result shown as a new formed front end panel
The last pictures seem to be a nice lightweight laminated front end panel for competition(??)..

For the information of anyone new entering the site .

The post originally started by me with the introduction of a cine film taken of a few instances of my ownership then posted on YouTube T
TVR Vixen WFD 400H . Mason Stiletto,Coppa Irish Setter.
That was back in 1979-80 .

I know of the guy who i bought it off then ,but still pondering its ownership history previous to that.

Also, i have asked before but it would be nice to hear from the chap in Yorkshire who purchased from Keith
