Really enjoying the great old photos guys. I've always loved the early Griffith's. Can Vixens and the like be fitted with a replacement a V6/V8, or were the original chassis on the Griffiths and Tuscans modified to take the bigger lump up front?

The lower chassis tubes were modified with a 2lb lump hammer.

yeah, some hand-work, I've read something like that too in the books, also that the TVR 2500 which was send mostly to the US had a wider frame specially for a V8 but with the emissions problems over-there they put in the Triumph 2.5 straight six or something like that.
So I guess those are a bit easier to convert?

555-PT I have those in the same file as the KPT-555K but forgot why, I guess they are the same car.

Not the same car, but the same owner. The wide one was hillclimbed by Paul Tankard in the early 80s, and was a brighter blue when I first saw it in 1987. The more standard car is road car he used just a few years ago.
