Tina Lives!!

[ccharlie6]

well i was looking at cottage classics (which is a ginetta specialists) and on their front page they have a news story that they have pulled the only TVR tina from a barn in kings lynn.



looks kinda sad

Bonnet looks big enough for a decent V8 - could be someone next track day rocket!

Trident?

Ginetta specialist!! ;o

Does this mean that Tina is to be fitted with inverted Triumph Spitfire suspension and a Hillman imp engine hanging out the back?

What period does Tina date from? Looks unlike any TVR I've seen before either production or prototype.

PS: Says owned by Gerry Marshall. Is that THE Gerry Marshall? Last time I saw him was in an AMOC race day, driving with his normal finesse.

Tina was given to Gerry (and Gerry is the Gerry Marshall!) I think Peter just wanted the space.

Wasn't the original Tina a convertible ?

[geddy]

according to one of my books the original Tina was a convertible but a fastback was also made. The original had a droop snoot but this was revised
