When I was in college I was home for the weekend and my buddy and I were first on the scene of two fellows who had rolled and totalled their TVR Griffith. They were very seriously injured but both survived. The (very) short wheel base Griffiths were a handful. I raced a 1959 TVR Grantura MkI all over Europe and the UK in FIA Historics in the late 80's and early 90's. It was only powered by an MGA 1600 with an alloy HRG-Derrrington head and twin Webers and it was a handful and would spin on a dime if you lifted in a corner. It made racing my Porsche 356A later seem a lot less evil if not sedate in comparison. I also had an AC Bristol but only as a lovely street car.
