The third TVR I had the chance to see in Monza was another TVR Grantura MK3. The car was paintd in red, an original solution despite this was the official color of Italian race cars. Was it a tribute?
Anyway, of course the car looks great. Looking at it it easy (for an enthusiast) to fly with imagination to its past: these cars were driven directly through open roads (totally in race conditions) to the circuit. Here they raced their race and then they went back home with their own wheels again. It was fantastic. Of course current traffic conditions and homologation rules don't allow this anymore. Maybe it's safer but surely it's less romantic.
those were the days...
ReplyDeletenice write up, lovely car.
what I often see is that the rear window is secured whit extra plates? is that to prevent them from blowing out at speed/cabin pressure?
