Hi all.

My battery is completely dead and I've accidently let the boot close. Is there a secret way to open it?
The reason I need to know is my Griff Bible is in there and I need to find out how to remove the battery/battery box. Any one know this one too? Is it bolted in somehow?

Thanks

Thanks for the info @SteveD
(I also should have mentioned I cant get jump leads to it as the car is in the garage! But with your info I will find a way, thanks)

ETA

Bit open for a public forum.

Thanks to everyone, I saw all your answers.
I instead decided to take an online course in contortionism and went ahead and changed the battery. (Despite the cobwebs the car fired up first time, very exciting).

I posted a solution but it was deleted. If you did not see it then feel free to PM me. It may not work as I had a Cerbera but think it may apply to all TVRs of that era.

Oddly it only gives access to the boot space so do not see a huge security risk in me posting about it?

Thank you, saw your post and Big Al is a good friend and emailed me info on how to do it too.
