Hello, I am new on this forum since yesterday and not very familiar in responding comments and all the forum specialities until now. I am very pleased about the positive comments, thank you very much! And thank you Keith for your idea to post the photo. Here is another one showing the cars 50th "birthday" celebration some weeks ago. First registration in England was 1st of november in 1963. After more than ten years of restoration it was my serious target for this year to get the car on the street and registered – by the way that was the cars first registration in Germany. Before I bought this TVR Grantura Mk3 in may 2003 it was a racer with F.I.A. papers and a short racing history in Germany. I would like to use it not longer for serious racing, but for occasional track days and interesting events. Best regards, A.Kraftfahrer said:
Okay ... learning by doing .. the photo:
Arnfried That car is an inspiration to us all the look you have created is so different but beautiful you can tell your a creative consultant expect copies to appear one day
Not sure if others have spotted it but I take it the number plate is positioned so it directs air into the cooling system?

I do hate this big german number plates, it´s even not possible to open the bonnet proper. In Germany we are not allowed to use sticking plates because they do not reflect the light. I have another solution. I store the big one with a stamp (which makes it valid) in the car in order to show it in a police control and will fix a small one like the Italians are using.

Good idea I thought you had angled it that way to direct air up to the radiator I do hate this big german number plates, it´s even not possible to open the bonnet proper.

I know what you mean the first thing I did to the Vixen when I brought it back from Germany was to remove the stupid number plate I think the exhaust had more clearance than the plate had.

I loved your Blue 200. was one of the nicest Griffs ever to have raced.

Thank you Neil, yes it was a fabulous car and I have a lot of good memories in these days. Your cars appearance is quite similar if you see it from an front angle. A real beauty as well. I loved your Blue 200. was one of the nicest Griffs ever to have raced.

For all who don´t know about the mentioned "Blue 200" I post a photo from an F.I.A. event at Zandvoort in 1999. The 3 Griffith of our team are waiting for scruteneering. The person on the left hand side is Chris Schirle, the "big Boss" of the team, and in the middle you will find Sir Stirling Moss with a friend who joined our team for this event driving Jos Kosters green Griffith 400. The dark red one was Serge van Havres very successful Griffith 400. It was an unforgettable weekend. Regards A.
