TVR Vixen S1 B 1967
Car History
Extreamly rare TVR manufactured in December 1967 and registered on 24th January 1968. Only 12 Vixen S1 MGB were made at the start of production.
This is the last of the 12 Vixens with the 1800 MGB Engine left over from the Grantura mark IV 1800S. The other 105 Vixen S1 had Ford 1600GT engines.
This is the 15th Vixen S1 to be built. Production of the S1 was between August 1967 - July 1968.
The car is complete but in need of a total restoration.

When launched in 1967, the Vixen was effectively a Grantura 1800S with a 1599cc engine from the Ford Cortina GT. Even though the 'Vixen' designation was introduced to signify the change of engine, to satisfy demand a few early cars were built with MGB power. The only external difference between the Grantura and Vixen S1 was a larger bonnet vent. In 1968 the Vixen S2 was introduced. Mechanically unchanged, the longer wheelbase (7ft 6in) chassis from the Tuscan V8 SE was used. The body was almost identical to the LWB Tuscan body, with longer doors, and Cortina Mk2 tail lamps replaced the round Mk1 lamps. The bonnet had a long bulge running from front to rear, which has subsequently become known as the 'sausage' bonnet. Required to clear emissions equipment for the US market but unpopular with British buyers, the 'sausage' was replaced by the Tuscan bonnet.
