1963 Grantura Mk3 Partly restored. For Sale

- details above


Interesting history, one registered keeper, low mileage and documented.

Manufactured in 1963, this MkIII Grantura was registered new to a small car dealership based in Mill Hill, North London, on the 23rd of December that year. Fitted with the 1798cc straight-four BMC B-Series engine with the four-speed manual transmission, the TVR is finished in White with Black interior upholstery. One of just c. 60 MkIII examples produced, it was retained by the car dealership until July 1967 when it was purchased by the first private keeper. Driven competitively on a few occasions at Lydden Hill race circuit in 1967 and 1968, a second MkIII Grantura, this time a lightweight race car, was purchased and ‘BTB 329A’ became the tow vehicle from 1970 through to 1976.

Following the purchase of a Jaguar for towing in 1976, the TVR was fitted with a Vixen rear end during the mid-1970s. Taken off the road from 1985 for a slow restoration that now needs completing, ‘BTB 329A’ was purchased by me (as a trader) in 2014. The engine has received an overhaul, however will require further recommissioning prior to use. With a recorded mileage, which is thought to be genuine, of 52, 875 miles, the TVR is offered with some photographs of the TVR at various stages of its life, an MOT certificate from 1984 (at 50, 579 miles) and a V5C. A worthy and rare Grantura project with low ownership and with an interesting history.
