Not sure if these have been posted before , three concept sketches drawn up at the factory..

1) 400/450 S.E. Convertible - Dont know the date , but i assume this was to visulise the intended body modifications to the 350i shape.







2) Tuscan road car - the shape that became the Challenge race car ,the bonnet has shades of Griffith about it and the "waistline" above the sill area is very Chim/Cerb.
I find this to be a very interesting drawing, as it must pre date the Chim/Griff designs by a few years.








3) "Griffith Challenge" - another intriguing drawing ,was TVR planning on replacing the Tuscan Challenge design with the arguably more relevant Griffith shape , or thinking about running two race series ??

Dunno, but how much better does that Griffith 'mouth' look without the thingy in the middle that holds the license plate...
