Makes / TVR

TVR

TVR built some of Britain's most distinctive small production sports cars, usually combining light bodies, powerful engines and minimal separation between driver and machinery. Chimaera and Griffith brought the marque to a wider 1990s audience, while Cerbera, Tuscan, Tamora and Sagaris pushed the styling and performance further. Production volumes were always limited, so the register is shaped by enthusiast preservation, specialist maintenance and the turbulent history of the company itself.
