If you’ve always dreamed of owning a classic British sports car, this could be the one.

As the first vehicle ever made by TVR, the Grantura holds a special place in fans’ hearts. Just as one would expect, the Grantura emphasized simplicity during its production run from 1958 to 1967, setting the tone for the brand decades later. While you might expect such a fine specimen of British automotive history would be astronomically expensive to acquire, these classics are in fact surprisingly affordable.

One doesn’t have to be an automotive enthusiast to appreciate the timeless look of the Grantura. The simple, flowing bodylines paired with minimal brightwork has aged surprisingly well over time, like a fine wine. Underneath those curvaceous fiberglass body panels is a tubular steel backbone chassis for superior rigidity, a strategy TVR used over and over in its cars for decades after.

Not only does the Grantura provide an outstanding presentation when sitting still, it proved itself on racetracks during its heyday. With a curb weight of a mere 1,433 lbs. combined with smooth aerodynamics, the sports car could slice up the competition while cutting through turns with extreme precision.
