There have been a number of calls for pictures of the TVR’s that the forum members own (or have owned in the past).

On this board, up to this point, all of TVR owners / aficionados communicate with each other via private messages -  it’s like a secret underground society.  Maybe we could all come out of the closet, and post the pictures of the ones we’ve got!

I will believe it as well known that Martin Lilley of TVR was the first one to come up with the brilliant idea of using naked women sitting on top of the cars to help advertise them.

This novel idea was such a tremendous marketing breakthrough, recognized (by me) as an automotive first! This tremendous idea was first implemented at the Earl’s Court Motor Show!

…and of course, the even more astute and aware of us knew that Susan Shaw was the second girl to be featured draped across a TVR (after Helen Hunt).

Somewhere out in Motorland is a frightening TVR-Griffith built by POCA member and my partner-in-crime Rich Agiorni in San Jose, CA. We worked on it together a bit. Last I saw it, the thing was stripped to bare fiberglas and had a Ford top loader 4 speed & Boss 302 (possibly with a Magnusen dual-supercharger) replacing the original hi-po 289. And gigantic fiberglas fender flares to house four 10" x 15" wheels within the tiny body. Any knowledge?
