My (limited) experience of TVR's is that like most 60's GRP low volume cars, is they're **** box lash ups that handle like erect cranes/shopping trollies. The Griffiths only saving grace for racing was a ridiculously over powered engine. The fact they were modified radically from day 1 should be no surprise to anyone.
The fact that you can legitimately build one that never went anywhere near Blackpool and bears no resemblance to a product of TVR, and go and race it competitively with Fia Historic approval speaks volumes about the state of racing old style cars right now.
The same can be said for most 'popular' marques, from Minis to Falcons, MGB's to E types. . . anything with a Lotus badge on it etc etc etc.
There are numerous stories of multiple cars with the same identity on different continents as well . . . .
