I have already 7 TVR books 
still busy reading them (some ordered not long ago and one still on order)
that Peter Filby did more books, the one mentioned I have also on back-order...
the other came in last week, a passion to succeed. (also expensive)
Yes all the Peter Filby books are great well written and researched and fantastic value 
still busy reading them (some ordered not long ago and one still on order)
that Peter Filby did more books, the one mentioned I have also on back-order...
the other came in last week, a passion to succeed. (also expensive)

Anyone hear an echo?
Much depends what you are looking for, Picture book, workshop manual, owners handbook?
A quick visit to the TVR Museum in the Grantura section of the library reveals amongst others the above selection. Please excuse the Owners manual, its my working copy so a little used looking. other things to note is the superb front cover on "TVR The early years".

Visits to the museum by appointment and coach parties welcome if notified in advance. Entrance is free but exit expensive.
Closed Monday to sunday inclusive

I asked Peter Filby to sign my copy of "Success Against the Odds" when I bought "A Passion to Succeed", he seemed a little embarrassed by it and said it had some mistakes that were corrected in the newer books.
That may be so but judging by what copies seem to sell for, our Gamekeeping friend has his retirement plan sorted in a few books

I would like to learn about TVR Grantura MK.1-2-3. Which books do you suggest?
Thanks
Antonio
If you want to learn about the model and its technical aspects the best thing is to have a look at the real thing. There are a few Granturas in Italy and south Germany you might have a look at.Thanks
