1962 TVR Grantura MK 2 B For Sale

The TVR Grantura is the first model in a long line of TVR cars and debuted in 1958. The cars went through a series of developments leading to the I to IV and 1800S models. The last ones were made in 1967.
These coupés were hand-built at the TVR factory in Blackpool, England varying mechanical specifications and could be had in kit form. All cars featured a cocktail of Austin Healey, VW Beetle or Triumph suspension parts and BMC rear axles.
The Grantura bodyshell was made from GRP and made use of a variety of proprietary components.
The Series II had MGA engines as standard but again customers could choose from a variety of power units. The IIA used the 1622 cc MGA Mark II or Ford 1340 cc engine and front disc brakes were standard.
A car with a 1600 cc MGA engine was tested by the British magazine The Motor inn 1961. It had a top speed of 98. 4 mph (158. 4 km/ h) and could accelerate from zero to 60 mph (97 km/ h) in twelve seconds. Fuel consumption of 32. 8 miles per imperial gallon (8. 6 L/ 100 km; 27. 3 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £1, 298 including taxes.
Approximately 400 of the series II Grantura were built. 230 of these vehicles are still known today and almost the half are today in a running condition.
