SCCA regional events in Texas etc. 1960s-70s through the lens of Jerry Melton

Another British car racing at GVR in 1967 was a TVR Grantura Series 2 # 65.
The car was built by the very talented Trevor Wilkinson from Blackpool, England. TVR derived from TreVoR.
Some of the TVR story can be found at this site;

This # 65 car could have been one of the TVR Grantura's brought over for the 1963 Sebring 12 Hour Race.
They were powered by a MGA 1600 Mk 2 engine (1622 cc)
They had overheating issues in the 1963 event.
One of the TVRs was driven by Mark Donohue in car # 51

Sebring 1963 - the link - and to others years too !!
" ( Ken H) ( I had to do some homework for this one !) "

Ken H, Thanks for that.
It will help with a discussion and comment on an Austin Healey page that I am following.
I posted some of the photos on the Austin Healey thread about the 3000's race #33 and #34 - I commented that they were from the 1964 Race, but there are the number #33 and #34 both AH 3000's.
Now to look at the 1964 list.
The cars were a blue/grey colour as seen in this pic.



Cheers

Roger
