Does anyone have any info on a Grantura 1961 reg plate 8031 AT

It was owned by Ken Booth ex TVR racing driver back in the 60's

Hi,

I have put an offer on the car. I am waiting on a response back from the owner. So fingers crossed, I will be the owner shortly.

I will be having it restored by my trusted TVR mechanic in Berkshire www.wiltonmorgan.co.uk

I was curious if anyone had any info on the car, I have contacted several people to try and build the history back up, unfortunately I now have been told that Kenneth Booth (ken) who sold the car last passed away in 2012. I will see if I can get hold of his family members and see what they might know as ken had a brother and let them know that i'm hoping to bring the car to Blightly and restore Ken's old car.

Peter Filby is writing a book on TVR's in competition so may have some information.

Do you intend to restore the car for road or competition.

Yep thank you. I have contacted Dave who has kindly put me in touch with the achivist @ TVRCC to see what they can find.

If you dont get the info off forums like this try contacting the TVRCC or David Gerald. If you get the car you can request info off DVLA using form V888, it costs a fiver, then contact previous owners and see if they can fill in the blanks in the cars history.

Hi.

I did not purchase the car in the end. But I have over 25 photos of the car and the export documents. Last owner was KEn as per the export document.

Anyone interested in buying it? I could try and see if it's still for sale?
