When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, there was a British guy that was staying nearby my home town in Florida that had one of these little pocket rockets. It was white with a blue racing stripe, and had a 289 Ford Cobra engine in it. I never knew much about it ,only what I had heard from the local gearheads. I was told that it was scary fast, and was hard to handle coming off the line in a drag race, since it was so light, that 289 was wanting to push the back tires up to the front. Needless to say, it got real squirrelly.
We have one of these locally at our Vintage Grand Prix. Black with gold stripes so it looks and sounds the part! They are such cool little cars! Great footage as always!
My favorite cars!! Back in the day when I had a few. No emissions bull shit. Not catalytic converters. Raw horsepower. The sound is like a fine tuned instrument. A PERFECT "10"!!!
Comment to R35killa- the car you refer to (PA historic racer built by Mike Zappa Racing is a V6 Tuscan TVR ( thing of beauty too!). These are all early Griffith 200’s (TVR GRANTURA with a HP Ford 289. Love TVR’s!
Griffith 400's.......200's had the MkIII Grantura shell and the late 1950's tail treatment, the 400's the MkIV Grantura/1800S shell with the Mk1 Cortina tail lights and Manx tail....But I'm just nit picking 🙂All fabulous!!!
Like to know anything/everything about the black an green TVR , motors,,transmissions,, size of tires an wheels, rearend, who built it everything/all things about them
I'd also like to know those details. I have heard regards the first time a 289 was put in a Grantura TVR it was done by Caroll Shelby. That car was christened The Griffith. TVR began making road cars and Griffith became a model name in 1992 powered by a tuned V8 rover in a tube steel frame with a fibre glass tub body. Produced for about 10 yrs.
Wow, This car is sooo fast!!! And that V8 sounds amazing!!! Such an iconic car

Nice! I noticed you used the old intro on this, by the way, the last car on this montage has got to be one of the best sounding cars I’ve ever heard!

It is because I started editting this video last year.

Little far from it, the 2000GT is lower
