I've just bought a MK1 Grantura would love to get some more info on the car.
The Reg is 90 RTU and the car was originally white it had a Bristol BS1 2.0ltr 6 cylinder 1950s race engine in it from new. Will add some original Photo's soon.

I think it is obscene! All those cars out of circulation, out of any enthusiast's reach, and banged up!
You must have good reason for having confidence in your sense of the prevalent moral leanings of TVR enthusiasts.
Best,

I have been in touch with the guy that owns those cars, and he has been really helpful in helping me source body panels and parts for a MK1 Grantura, he even supplies new chassis. He has more knowledge and enthusiasm for these cars than anyone I have spoken to or corresponded with before.Yes, It is a Rochdale Olympic, in front of it is a Daimler SP250, and next to it is an Elva Courier.
Yes, I agree that these rare cars are safe from the ravages of weather, and I am sure the owner is an enthusiast, he must be! but, unless they are for sale, or in a que to be re-built, they are also safe from the ravages of restorers........Perhaps not a bad thing in hindsight.............!
