TVR (England) 1954 to date

TVR have survived the car kit era, countless management upheavals and a major fire to become a respected manufacturer. The MkI lasted until 1960, followed by the MkII (1960 62) and MkIII (1960-63). Then came the Griffith 200 (1964) and 400 (1965), followed by the 200-V8 (1966), Tuscan SE and Vixen 1600 (1967), Vixen S2 (1968), Tuscan V6 (1969) 1600 M (1972-73), 2500 (1970-73), and 2500 M and 3000 M (1972). The Turbo appeared in 1975, the Taimar in 1976. Beautifully finished glass-fibre-bodied two-seaters, today's TVRs are elegant, fast and reliable. Ford V-6 versions are available, with or without turbocharger; the 1979 Turbo Convertible could attain 130 mph.
