lol
I was thinking, should I post it or not, do not have many scanned in magazines and this car also began with JNP, so I dropped it, gladly I have many many classic TVR pictures left, must keep a nice thread alive the coming time ;-)

I Really did not realise it would take off the way it did especially as it had a shaky start and then went a little silly but its really a great place to spent a half hour over a cup of Coffee.
I popped into Fernhurst TVR where my adventure with TVRs began this week for a coffee as I usually do when passing and when I left they where busy going through the thread I think they where on page 6 when I left.
They have a rather nice Griffith 400 coming in next month which will be interesting to see a Black one from Europe so maybe you should start counting your pennies.
Also there will be a couple of Classics coming up at Novembers Historic Auction at Brooklands as well a couple of cars that have been advertised elsewhere and talked about on here as well time for Dealers to move them on I think

Later another set pictures of KFR-201D

Interesting colour scheme I do wish they had carried on with the door pockets as there is sadly a lack of storage in the later cars

that sort door pockets are very handy indeed, maybe it was some extra option? don't know, also it looks like the owner/buyer? loves red

maybe he is a close relation

These photos were taken at Croft on Easter Monday, 11 April 1977. The driver was Eric Carr. According to the programme he was from Mitcham and the car had a 1599cc engine
The second photo shows the car on track approaching the old Sunny corner




Thanks to Peter Caygill for sending these from his pictures to post nice old picture that I have never seen amazing I would have been in Boarding School in Swansea that year and about 1800 months before TVRs Financial problems following the 3000s customs issues
Interesting to see the later T Slots on an early car not seen that combination before

Just moved these pictures over from the other thread as they are great pictures and a shame to see them lost over there in months to come thanks to those that posted them

GTRene said:

nice, wasn't that the one with the low cage? or is this another one.
why don't they make such cage more as high as the inside of the roof (almost), gives some extra protection and not that in sight I guess.

Yes they are making adjustments to the cage

I'm not much good at taking photos. This is perhaps the best of a bad bunch.

I have no idea, it could be everything, a Vixen Series 2, 3, 4, 1300, 2500 or even a Tuscan V6?

Its not a MK2 so that makes it a MK3 or Tuscan I think

Wonder how many out of the twelve pictured 600s were actually finished?
Best,

Well none had any lights to start with maybe they where kit cars

Adrian@ said:

Surely none of those are Griffith 600...but either Intermeccanica Torino's or Italia's.
Adrian@

That was the firm that made them Adrian for Jack Griffith and branded Giffith 600 in the same way a TVR was branded a Griffith 200 02 400
