I believe that the top ball joint is from a Saab 900.

upper ball joints are £15 from local Saab dealer or £26 from TMS, both identical,however casting is slightly wider than original on my car,so to get correct camber I had to angle grind about 2mm off the end of the wishbone to accomodate!!! Why is nothing ever easy on a TVR!

Because SAAB changed the design and it is a bit of a lottery whether you get one that will fit. Some are even worse than 2mm BTW! Not sure I would want to grind anything off a wishbone though... tends to be a bit structural.
