Our 1962 TVR Grantura restoration is now complete and in preparation for the final photo shoot we called upon the skills of our good friend Mike at Shine Supply UK to give the car a Level 1 detail.
The final photo shoot was unfortunately postponed mid-way through due to the wonderfully unpredictable Suffolk weather.
Thank you to Butley Priory for your initial welcoming, although the shoot was short lived we hope to see you very soon to complete the day.
The rear clear, lightweight plastic window has now been refitted to the car.
The window was in a severely damaged state. However, Tom has been able to polish up the rear window, ready for it to be installed into the car once more.
Next on the Grantura is making the windscreen fluid reservoir and plumbing that into the vehicle.
Progress continues on our TVR Grantura. Most of the tailor-made interior has been refitted now. Grilles and vents have also been fabricated and added to the car. It really is in the finer details that sees a restoration truly come to life.
Tom has been removing the entire brake system, servicing and cleaning them and is now in the process of reinstalling them back onto the car.

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.

The door cards have been re-manufactured using a rough template taken from the original door cards.
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.
