1965 - Following the purchase of TVR by Martin and Arthur Lilley in 1965, they set about updating the model range. They took the existing Grantura Mk III chassis and used this to create the Grantura MkIV/ 1800S which in turn, with an engine transplant replacing the MGB engine with a Ford Cortina GT 1600 crossflow, became the first of the new Vixens in 1967. In fact, so much was the Vixen a continuation of the 1800S that several (Approx. 5) of the 117 Vixen S1s built had MGB engines.
