TVRMs: looking most impressive and additionally gratifying for you that your project is now at its 'coming together' stage.
An on-going credit to great attention to detail as well as your modifications giving a bespoke-engineering dimension that matches the ethos of the earliest TVRs. Newness & tradition combined - good luck for untroubled completion!

Thanks for those kind words.

This is the race car though Mr Shacklton, not the V8, both-converging

[lfsv8]

Sorry John, didn't realise your were doing two at once ... Doing just one TVR is more than enough to stretch my budget.
Then you're going to race one, excellent. Looking forward to seeing results [them] when completed and ready for road or action.

That extracter vent does look nice and i see it has a small lip along the bottom. That will stop raining pouring in when parked.
How did you do the vent like that, did you laminate in a ready made vent then blended in the rest. At some time i will need to get my 1976 3000M resprayed but before maybe i will add an extracter vent.
Very nice paint job, did you do it

Hi Alan,
It was painted by a local chap who does unbelievable work. I wish had the talent and the patience.

I had a previous bonnet modified by cutting and filling 5 or 6 years ago, but then wanted a lightweight version. Adrian was involved in the production of the bonnet (provision of the mould - that we had refurbished). He had the foresight to arrange a "bulge mould" from the bonnet I had.

The good news is I believe he still has it so replication should be reasonably straightforward.

Hi guys, Looks really beautiful, compliments!

I am by no means an aerodynamics expert, but when considering bonnet vents for my Fury I came across this link:

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/viewthread.p...

I would be interested to learn if the high pressure area at the bottom of the windscreen would let air in or out of the vent.

My simple assumption was that in heavy traffic and low speed a bonnet vent at that location would help to let the hot air out, and at high speeds there will/should be another path for the hot air to go out.

I would love to hear your opinions and real world experiences.
