Mine must sit at least an inch lower all along the chassis on the 60 profiles I run on.....

Who shrunk the rollbar?

Nice car though!

[GTRene]

I did not understand such roll-bar either...could be way better.

DAF-900C = griffith 400

I guess a proper bar did not pass through the small doors in that case?!?

I think it was inspirated by the Le Mans and Sebring Granturas.

I do not have many name's from owners or ex owners with the pictures, what car do you mean, that DRT-643C ?
yellow/blue/old/refresh car?
Do you have more from those old pictures and or a short story to tell about it?

[jellison]

I mean that is Gerry Mashall in the car when yellow. Gregor is his son. Think it might be at mallory.

[the other tim]

It's an Ipswich registration, I assume Bill Last sold it originally.

Halcyon Days Jelly..This era is what really got me into TVR, Watching these little cars in the Anglo American Challenge cup , Collonade thorobreds etc etc were fantastic days in the early 90's.. Nigel Rueben Raced this car as well. It was owned by Joe ward as well around this time I think.

A Rather Nice 2500m just to get the balance as there are a lot of non M series cars and this one is a cracker

[prideaux]

Rather Nice just a shame where they have the pictures they Called it a Tuscan instead of a 2500 Chris will like this one

Good info there, by the look of the pictures and colours that car has many race years behind her as many TVR's have or had.

The red 2500 and 2500M looks good too.
