Third Oldest TVR

[BRGV8S]

As lurker on the classis forum, just a heads up Classic Car Weekly are running a road test on the third oldest suviving TVR in there 22 February edition, think Ronnie Corbet's doing the driving

What would that be then....an open sports (three made?) or maybe a pre Grantura Mk 1 notchback coupe? Or maybe even an RGS Atlanta bodied TVR chassis?

Just a heads up not into the early cars like you experts

Believed third oldest surviving series production model (Mk1 Grantura as it became known retrospectively). 1958 build 1959 registered chassis no 112 (started at 101). The register has two recorded with lower numbers. Same ownership since 1971. Advertised in classifieds.

It is actually doing well at that sort of money in my opinion..as you say definitely not the third oldest..Theres a nice red MK2a on fleabay at the moment which looks a lovely thing in comparison...Pound to a penny it goes to Blackpool on the Rijn...Fancy a bid Long Kenyan??

I've got the 3rd Griff to leave the US Factory (not 3rd TVR though).

Hallo Neil, no not for me at the moment. Too many cars in the garage now. As a matter of fact, I am thinking of selling the V8 gulf.
