It would be great to see as many Griffiths as possible and of cause Chimaeras, V8 Wedges and V8 Ss.

That's funny article on there absolutely no mention of TVR and the multiple and varied use of the engine in everything from the Wedges and V8S to the Griffs and Chimaeras. Almost as if all they're interested in is Rover and BMC cars. The TR8 gets many mentions

I see what you mean, it does look very Rover orientated and run by Rover clubs but I assume TVRs are welcome because TVR is on the entry form Group/Class drop down list.

All the more reason for a loud large TVR turn out

On one page, it does say:

"...The engine was subsequently installed into the Rover P6, SD1, Range Rover and Land Rovers. During its lifetime it appeared in other non–Rover marques such as the MGBGT V8, TVR, and Morgan."

In fairness it is in the first paragraph of the home page.

It also asks on the HP for other clubs to make contact.

When I heard about this event the other month I passed it onto V8GRF who was going to inform the car club events person.

It does indeed, I skipped to the history of the RV8, anyway I'm sure it will be a good one. TVR, Morgan, Marcos plus others...
