Such Beautiful lines. Almost Italian. 
The TVR tridents I believe only number 3 or 4, only 1 of which is the blue convertible. The others are all coupes.
The blue convertible is even more beautiful in the flesh, I can't remember but I think it might even be steel not fibreglass but shoot me down if I'm wrong.
Want want want.
Big ford V8 with a slush box not everybody's taste I suppose.

None of the TVR Tridents had any glass fibre in them at all, but all the Trident Venturer/Clipper/Tycoons were completely glass fibre bodied.
The first two TVR Trident Coupes and the Convertible are a mixture of aluminium and steel (aluminium bonnet but everything else steel) whilst the 3rd Coupe (the red one in the pictures above) is all-steel with no aluminium at all.

I used it as my wedding car in 1970. It was fitted with a 289 HiPo and
manual 4 speed. It was all steel no alloy panels,very front end heavy it
had a very high floor and little leg room, very uncomfortable to drive.
Finished in Flame Red with black trim.I lost track of it in the mid 70s.

That's interesting. I know it has been gold, dark blue and light (Ferrari Dino) blue but I never knew it had been red.manual 4 speed. It was all steel no alloy panels,very front end heavy it

I really did think the convertible had an aluminium bonnet like nos. 1 + 2 coupes though; I'll have to check with Neil Lefley, who restored it to its current spectacular condition!
