Interesting colour scheme I do wish they had carried on with the door pockets as there is sadly a lack of storage in the later cars

These photos were taken at Croft on Easter Monday, 11 April 1977. The driver was Eric Carr. According to the programme he was from Mitcham and the car had a 1599cc engine
The second photo shows the car on track approaching the old Sunny corner




Thanks to Peter Caygill for sending these from his pictures to post nice old picture that I have never seen amazing I would have been in Boarding School in Swansea that year and about 1800 months before TVRs Financial problems following the 3000s customs issues
Interesting to see the later T Slots on an early car not seen that combination before

Fantastic time warp shots from a time when Croft was a really fast circuit..Everyone who remembers croft during this era remembers going through the underground ford to get to the infield. Reddifusion van takes me back…does anyone still rent telly??

One of the Le Mans Granturas was painted in Gulf colours around this time - I wonder if it is the same car.

I think from memory it was for sale at the Straight Six garage in Edgware.

Same fellow owns(ed?) both

Boy, did they ever go through a lot of trouble, to make sure nobody could get the images or URLs. I hope it's worthwhile.
