On my 15th or 16th Griffith in the last 50 years; and found that flipping the coach and chassis upside down is much easier. Please leave the chassis open as was done on the later TVR's. Also went from an.063" wall to at least an .095" on the 1 1/2" tubing gave more integrity to the space frame.

Part 1 of the Grantura restoration is the easy part......We are waiting for part 2. And, the car is definitely not a 59 Mk1. More a 61 Mk2

Hi. Me agaim We would like to do a follow up on your car, live a live stream (or recorded) feed for 7Spot. Drrop Jm |Gould a message on 7 spot ot me John Minion - I am based in the UK. We both bike engined cars, Jim a busa and me an R1, Am interested in your rear brake setup and the car is not one I know. You running 13 inch whells on that ? Standard Busa ?

Hi John, this video was just a teaser and we will have more detailed videos coming. We're in the states in Texas and the rear of the car borrows from the same Merkur Scorpio available here in the states as the Ford Sierra across the pond. Rear brakes would be the equivalent of the Sierra Cosworth there. The chassis was developed by us and is massively strengthened vs similar cars - along the lines of the Australian chassis mods. Running 15" wheels. Yes, engine is slightly tweaked Gen II Busa. (LOL - cannot imagine needing more power - but we try) Might be able to work out a live stream in the coming months. Thank you and Jim for your interest!

Hi. You just popped up so first I've seen this. Interesting project. I'm curious, are you going to bond the body back to the frame as original, or bond the floor to the body with recesses for the frame as the newer TVRs were built? Just in case you need to fix something later... Plus you can inspect most everything regularly. Good Luck with this. Great little cars.

@@geraldkunz5910 Yes I have chatted with D. Zumstein about this over the years and his take was that it was hard to say and the fender spears are not definitive. The title shows 1959 - so I have always tipped in the MK 1 direction.
