The first spiritual ancestor to today's TVRs appeared in 1963, the V8 powered Griffith 200. The Griffith 200 mated the impressive US-built Ford 289 V8 engine with the delicate body and frame of the Grantura III. Despite all of this extra power the Griffith had to make do with the BMC rear axle used on the smaller engined cars.
At the time its launch TVR claimed a power output of well over 200bhp from the monster 4.7 litre V8 unit, whatever the true figures no one can deny the cars impressive 150mph top speed.
