Interesting discussion but consider a few things when it comes to TVR or the odd choice in historic racing.
- Selection of the cars, some grids apply criteria which are not as clear as the writting there is in their regulations and which can result in one car being allowed while yours will not, specially when it comes to the TVR and some organisers. You don't want the plastic silly thing to disrupt the establishment.
- Others will run specific minimum weight, wheel sizes, etc. which will in fact neglect the advantage you may have through proper period specification and which may cause troubles in terms of pads over the distance or tyres as well.
And to be honest, remember the history and books. Nobody could beat a Cobra by the end of 1965, they were long established as the best, be it the roadster or coupe. GM had stopped its effort with the Gran Sport which is a prototype anyway, they were not interested, just like an E-Type never one any major International Competition in its days. Ferrari only did well with the GTO until the American landed in Europe.
