The final photo shoot was unfortunately postponed mid-way through due to the wonderfully unpredictable Suffolk weather. Thank […]

In our trim shop, Donna has completely rebuilt the TVR’s door cards using the existing door cards as a template. The contrasting blue body colour against the vivid red interior will look truly stunning when complete on this fabulous TVR.
Both the brake and clutch master cylinders are currently being prepared, ready to be refit on our gorgeous blue Grantura.
Tamas has been working on the window mechanisms of our 1962 TVR Grantura this week. The frames are now in position and he is now concentrating his efforts on improving the movement of the mechanism as it seems unnecessarily tight to operate.

With a very limited amount of existing interior to go by we have had to design and manufacture the full interior set for our 1962 TVR Grantura.

Donna is currently working on designing a new pattern for our 1962 TVR Grantura door cards. She is using the existing material to help with the design. The door cards will be finished in the same colour as the new seats that have been made. Meanwhile, the seats are almost complete.
Work continues on the TVR Grantura interior rebuild. Donna is working on recovering the seats with the Poppy leather and has manufactured the new piping.
The newly trimmed dash, complete with polished dials, is in position which means the electrics can now be wired up. Thank you, as always, to the guys and girls at Autosparks for manufacturing the rare super rare wiring harness for our TVR.
Running up our 1962 TVR Engine after rebuild. Prior to Ady rebuilding the engine, it had been left in bits for many years with the main block being buried in the garden. This was a big engine rebuild but very satisfying when completed and running…
Work is progressing well on our 1962 TVR Grantura as we continue to fit up the exterior, at the same time working on the full interior re-trim. The dash is complete and ready to fit before we look to wire up the entire car.
Images back from Tony at Wyatt Polishing as he continues to work through the various re-chroming and re-polishing projects we have given him. Here we have bright work from our TVR Grantura, Jensens 541R’s and Jaguar E-Type.
Images have emerged of our 1962 TVR Grantura in dis-repair some years ago. As much as it is not nice to see a wonderful classic looking so sad it is still lovely to find images like this.
Donna has now completed the re-trim of the dash in Poppy Red leather. The dash has been handed back to Brian to reinstate the refurbished dials.
Working on cleaning and polishing our TVR parts ready for the rebuild. The warning lights, ignition and hinges have all been polished now and ready for refit. The original badges have also had the polishing treatment.
