Could we call it Grayford Special?

Is this Trevor Wilkinson's 1949 TVR?

You could, but you'd probably be alone. Blackpool Special, on the other hand, would be a better guess, because this:

...Trevor Wilkinson's 1949 TVR?

...is more correct. It is often referred to as FFV 62, which was its licence plate. According to Alternative Cars, Wilkinson built it in 'a spartan old wheelwright's shop in Blackpool in 1950'. Anybody know where this, the second TVR ever built, is today, and what it looks like?

It's now owned by Richard Wright of Team Wright Racing.
