Sheared stub axle. I was told that was a common occurrence, in the V8 powered cars. What donor vehicle are these from, in an original Griffith?

It is well known that it happens not only to V8 cars in the sixties and later. The quillshafts for Grantura and Griffith cars seems to be developed by TVR. Ten years ago I bought HD quillshafts for my Grantura Mk3. So I guess all the racing cars today are using these better parts as well. And in spite of that it remains a weak element of these cars.Best,

wow, something special too...is it a home made or also a proto type sort from TVR.
This car is a home made conversion. I do know the person who did it in the mid nineties. A Vixen 2500 that was imported in 1990 from the USA. The picture shows the car at a meeting of the German TVR Club in 1990.Regards A.

Car 54 where are you?I wonder how much of the original 200/054 car still exists? I suspect even the chassis plate may be a replica.

its indeed a lovely example, I believe its based on a Vixen S1, not sure, but now its more a race griffith 400.
hm, the next sits in my Griffith files but on the rear it says Tuscan I now see, anyhow its a classic TVR
107-XY-37 = Tuscan V8
edited to ad plate numbers so google can find them back.
