Four "classic" TVR's to identify

[JagJob]

Hello!

Four TVR's from my archives from which I would very much like to know what they are.

The first one is this Grantura 1800. Which mark is this? Took part in a German event. The second of two Grantura's I have ever seen. The other one raced at the Nürburg GP circuit. We sat just there where they had to brake for the first corner and the TVR's (there was also a Griffith 400) sounded impressive!



Number two is this Dutch Vixen, but is this a series 2, 3 or 4?



The third one is this German car, parked close to the Nürburgring. It looks like a 3000S, but it has a different front... Is this car a modified 3000S or something else?


a 3000S with modified bonnet. (DavidY)


And the last one, a 290 I think, but from which series?

An S1 or S2, probably an S1 (thanks to Gary)

Thanks in advance!
Best, Job

Wrong it's a 3000S with a modified bonnet, no kit car manufacturer would go to the trouble of cutting down a Jensen Healey Windscreen to fit or keeping the sliding windows!

The car was present at two events we visited and in both cases it was parked between the TVR's, so cannot imagine it was a kitcar too. It's a pitty the bonnet was modified.

Last one is an S1 or S2, S3 on had longer doors. I think it's probably an S1 as it doesn't have the chrome trim on the bumpers.
