I was at the Haynes museum

Hi all
As title said I was at the Haynes museum today, as it is normally over 400 miles from my house, I am down here on holiday in Bath, my good lady thought it was to good an opportunity to go.

So we went today, and yes there was a TR8 but it had I think a Mark Grinnall conversion to a 2+2, do we know anything about this car ?
I also note it had an unusual T Bar roll bar ( i am thinking this was to add strenth that was lost woth the 2+2 conversion?

Also the pic of the back seat

Also as i was driving into Bath i seen a Gold DHC, a few days later seen it again as i was on a bus and managed a quick photo.

Is it anybody on here?

Hi, looks similar to the T bar arrangement on the Broadside in the Gaydon collection.

Not a very elegant solution, rusty bolt heads sticking out of the top.

Whilst l agree to it being inelegant, I’d like to think that the bolt heads weren’t rusty when new!

The T would be very useful in a TR7/8 convertible. It is a very flexible motorcar.

Apply 300 BHP to the rear of the thing & you can see the back of the passenger door drop a little below it's static shut line. I have no doubt the drivers door is raised at the rear.

My son tells me when I go "finish" he will transfer all the performance gear from the 8 to the 7 fixed head, which could handle the torque more easily.
