Tinks there are 4 on mine.

Big one between chassis behind drivers front wheel and engine near alternator.

Battery negative to chassis rear under drivers rear wheel arch.

A big bunch from the loom to behind passenger front wheel.

A smaller earth that bolts to the back of the passenger side cylinder head.

The S3C that I had had the rear lights earthed at a point on the chassis behind the rear n/s wheel. This may not be the same as on the V8S but the cars will be of similar vintage so could be worth a look - not disbelieving Chris here but just a thought.

Something is earthed behind the ns rear wheel on my v8, I can't remember what though, it might be the fuel gauge sender, or the fuel pump.

There's definately nothing behind my passenger rear wheel - the fuel pump and sender earths come out of the loom - but it's hardly a surprise if they are different is it? It is a TVR!
