A TVR Grantura Mk. 3 was entered in the
inaugural running of the Le Mans Classic event to held
over the weekend of 21/22 September 2003.
This historic TVR is owned by classic racer
Rob Grant who has campaigned the car across
Europe since the late 1980’s when he acquired
it in a rather sorry state.
Since then the car has been fully restored and now faces perhaps
its sternest test to date. Racing alongside much more exotic machinery
it will evoke memories for those who can recall the last time TVR
officially entered cars at the world famous circuit.
The car itself was one of three factory lightweight cars built
in 1963 for competition use.
The
entry is particularly interesting as it is
jointly sponsored by the Castrol, the TVR Car
Club and TVR main dealer TMS Performance vehicles
of Melton Mowbray.
The team is also honored to have the official endorsement and support
of Peter Wheeler Chairman and owner of TVR Engineering.
