Kicking off the TVR Grantura Mk2 restoration project

I have talked about the old TVR Grantura Mk2 before. And about the plan to restore it. Well, soon the work will start. As this is not something that you do very often in your life combined with the fact that the experiences will be interesting for quite a number of people, we decided to properly document the restoration. So we started with a professional photo session of the car before the restoration. The picture shows the setup. We will document each stage of the restoration process and submit the resulting article to one of the classic car magazines if they are interested. If everything goes well, the work will be completed by next summer. Let's keep the fingers crossed. I will post updates on the progress on this blog from time to time.

Is the German magazine "Motor Klassik" still going. I'm sure they would be interested in a restoration article on your TVR. A couple of years ago a German guy got all keen on Bolwell Nagaris and came out here to find out more about them. The result was a six page article in that magazine's 2/2007 edition.

Yes, Motor Klassik is still there, but focuses on German classics and Youngtimers a lot. Seems to be the taste of their readers. I read it every month, but they haven't covered TVR over the last 5-10 year
