TVR Vixen S2 1969 WFD 400H
Discussion
Yea looked at that David what a chop don’t like the silly rear spoiler also got mk 1 rear lights and mk3 side vents, with that much modification don’t see how it could be classed as a dual purpose car , also the amount stated the car suspension was dropped it would be on the
Floor. I think vixens are low enough to begin with , I had to raise wfd400H up for ground clearance, omg what a bang that petrol tank above the exhaust silencer, haveing said that have to admire the guy for the effort he’s put in brilliant for track use

I believe the aerodynamics are pukka stuff.The inventory states the rear aero was $3000 ..
At the time of posting the TVR was going to cost the customer $100.000 for the work carried out..
To me it is a competition car and i feel the rear aerodynamic device is a serious bit of kit ,not a to be confused by those Halford things that you buy..
I like the Mk 1 Cortina rear lights better than the Mk 2 ,gives it that Lola loom for me which is great.
Nearly posted for him to change the Zephyr side vents to the super Series 2 Vixens because they give me the gringe..
Before the Historic Sports car race scene ..Modified Sports Car TVR`s used to have wide flared arches that looked so good and this is why i like the car so much,although i wouldn`t be brave enough to cut that GRP like that.
I remember a few V8 Tuscans being featured in Triple C magazine back in the late sixties and early 1970`s..
Fuel that gets hot reduces the volitality .We ,or rather me used to cool the petrol for the karts just to get that little bit of extra 1/10th of a bhp on a hot day...
Only thing i didn`t like was the perspex cover on the fuel injection trumpets for show..
Been a lot of WFD over the last couple of days on the internet and for some reason i have wondered who bought the TVR new back in 1969..
There must be someone still around also who was second owner and so on..
Previous to me a guy called Gareth had it who carried out the re-trim and had it painted Brown..He told me it was Blue before that..
Did you ever make contact via the DVLA Keith regarding owners?

No never checked history on dvla all I know about wfd400H history is what I’ve learned from yourself David I know the original colour was orange as there was still some signs behind dash no signs of blue or brown as car body had been totally stripped of paint when I got it, Wouldn’t know how to apply to dvla

I was thinking that about the time i was probably doing driving lessons or acquiring my first car someone was buying WFD from TVR..What a result it would be to meet the first owner or to see a picture of it being signed over..
Pity my dad didn`t have a picture of the Mk1 Cortina when we picked it up from the Factory compound back in 1965..I remember it well even though i was only about 13...So pleased i still have the Cortina to this day.
As i still have my great Transit Connect from new (2007)
Sadly my only other new vehicle ,a 1988 Lada Riva 1500 estate was written off a few years later.
Still we did not have phone cameras then giving instant pictures..
Wonder if the person is still alive ,after all it was over 50 years ago..
