Description:

RARE TVR Grantura 1800S---only 78 ever built! A race fan favorite shown in several vintage racing magazines. Restored 2000-2004 and built to Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing Specs(1972 SCCA PCS & GCR). Extensively upgraded for SVRA competition in 2008. Current SVRA annual tech. Suspension extensively tuned for neutral to slight under-steer, bump steered, very easy and predictable to drive. Logbboks clean(no deficiencies). Engine originally built by Dave Headley @ Fab-Tek; high output race engine good to 7500 RPM. Headley bottom end has been topped with a Burgess aluminum cross flow head and dual Webber carbs. Also a timing belt driven external oil pump has been added. Light weight and great brakes make this easy to drive hard into a corner! Excels on shorter, tight tracks, see SVRA times at Thunderbolt and Road Atlanta.
