Cars WIP Help me choose what car to model

I do prefer any prewar racer.

Since TVR Griffith is leading, Ive been looking for BPs and I cant find them anywhere. The only "BP" I can think of is Gran Turismo 6 which is actually GT3 model from early 00s with its own mistakes. BPs would make modelling much faster, altough I want to avoid cheating with GT6 model. Are there any decent BPs for this car? There is only front/side with lens distorsion.

For these cars, use anything you can find. Blueprints can be used as reference, but trust your eye and camera matching (see my latest posts from the 993) is a must if you want to keep it as accurate as possible.

So

The official winner! This is the car that I will try to model primarily. EDIT hopefully it will be finished by 2021 lel

The TVR community is a quite active at PistonHeads forums. There are over 200,000 posts in the Griffith subforum alone. Perhaps you can find some useful references there?

Excellent choice, Racedepartmenters.

I really wanted to see an NB myself, being a JDM fanboy, but now that PURE is back on board with the NA, we're fine in that regard.

^ is probably the best man for the job physics wise by the way.

I started making this cage. Its very hard without any blueprints or decent ortho photos but at least overall shape is getting better slowly.

I'm not big on road cars but I've always had a thing for the modern Griffith so had to vote for it. The obnoxious sounds of a decat Griffith

There are some nice videos, I think called 'monster griff' on YT of a Griffith being unleashed on track.

Just a heads up if you're not already doing it - but make sure to mirror those splines as you work on them - what looks good on one half might not fit so well on the other! Try and cover as much bases in the beginning as you can, saves a lot of hassle later down the line

Agreed! I missed the vote but mine would have been for the Grif.
Hopefully @Nedddo will enjoy making so much he'll complete the full suite of missing TVRs.

You know TVR is missing for some reason?
