At some point in 1962, legend has it, an AC Cobra and a TVR Grantura were in Jack
Griffith's New York workshops. The mechanics, naturally, decided to see if the
Cobra's V8 would fit in the Grantura. It did. Well it almost did. Griffith decided
to do a proper conversion on a MK III and found it to be a very quick car.
Visualy just like a MKIII Grantura with a large bonnet bulge and twin exhausts. The car in the photo is being rescued from a field in New Jersey where it spent 17 years. |
