Grantura Restoration..

[dram]

Makes you sick...
Have spent the last 9 months searching the length and breadth of the country for a classic TVR and almost giving up , when the wife casually mentions to the local joiner ( a known local car enthusiast that only
lives about 4 miles away ) that I am looking for a classic TVR and he replies that he has a 1962 Grantura in his garage waiting to be restored .
To cut a long story short , I have never written a cheque so fast in my life ...and I'm a Scotsman !)
Hopefully will get plenty of advice from you guys on this project .
Also a BIG THANK YOU to all you guys out there who have been helping and supporting me in my search into my first TVR classic ownership ..you know who you are...its very much appreciated...

Hi Brian grantura mk2a, originally fitted with 1622cc MGA engine. Why not give Jim a ring and see if he can tell you more of the history of car. I think he recovered it from a barn where it had rested for many years Steve
