The homologation papers for the Grantura MkIII 1800 are available to view here

http://user.tninet.se/~kaw434x/e_home.htm

Note that there are distinct and different papers for the earlier MkII and MkIII versions of the Granturas. The 1800S (i.e. Kamm-tailed MkIII) wasn't homologated although the MkIV 1800S was, but post-1965.

I have bought them about 30 years ago as a hard copy from the RAC. I think they should be available today too.
I do regretably not know how.

Thanks, but that is a link to the current Appendix K which contains the general FIA rules governing the spec of historic race cars.

However, what the OP was looking for was copies of the individual homologation papers specific to particular cars, in this case the early TVRs. I have provided a link to a copy of the papers for one of those models, the Mark III 1800 which is the particular spec to which the vast majority of Granturas currently racing in Europe are built, but I do not know of similar copies available online for the other three homologated versions of the Grantura or, indeed the Griffith 200.

If anyone does know of internet links to electronic copies of these other papers then I am sure the readers of this board would be most appreciative. But, failing that it will probably be a case of contacting the MSA and paying them whatever the current fee is for each copy.

On another forum I have previously posted a useful table showing a summary of the key differences between the homologated specs of the pre-66 TVRs i.e. Grantura MkI/II, the MkIII, the MkIII 1800 and the Griffith 200. This came to me as part of a bundle of literature I obtained a few years ago but I believe it to be accurate. As I will not be back at my base for several weeks I am not in a position to post a copy of that table on this forum right now.

It is an official homologations document with all the special descriptions of the technicial options.
When I am back home from my trip in Italy I can send you a copy. Please send me a note.

I did find that thread the other day, but that table no longer opens...
