Early TVR Pictures

[RetroWheels]

Some splendid Classic TVR on this thread , particularly this silver Tuscan - lovely.
Are those Wolfrace(?) all polished or have the centres been finished in silver body colour ?.
Remind me of period Halibrands and there's nothing wrong with that .

I think they are Wolfrace maybe even soda blasted then diamond cut and polised part way in I am not sure though but a stunning car its only when you look at this thread as it grows what a wonderful variation of cars we have still alive and giving Smile to not only those that own and drive them

I forgot what that was, I mean such bonnet with that different air scope, not that I'm a fan of such, or that it was a big hit, but you don't see that many with such.

Would love to know more about this picture, must have been taken fairly early in its life. Thanks for sharing it.

love the colour and the wheels look good on the car (although the offset isnt ideal!) They look like steel wheels?

[Mr Tiger]

A black Vixen was advertised about two years ago with rare original steel wheels. I wonder if these are standard original wheels.
