TVR
TVR is short for Trevor so is an ideal car for me to show you my photos of.
Vixen S1 1499cc Ford engine this was one of 117 1967 model cars.
Vixen S4 fitted with a 1300 Triumph Spitfire engine, only 15 were made..
Vixen S3 fitted with a 1500cc engine. 165 made.
Tuscan 1969 fitted with a V6 or in this case a V8 4996cc engine
Taimar 3000 M fitted with a Ford Essex engine making 165bhp.
Tasmin this 1988 version is the prototype car. These are fitted with an Australian Holden V8 engine.
Tasmin 420 SEAC this is one of 20 300bhp 4.2l cars.
Tasmin 350i are the most common version with 897 convertibles and 52 FHCs.
V8s this Rover V8 powered car was good for 144mph and 0-60 in under 5seconds.
Typhon this is one of three cars built originally to allow TVR to compete at Le Mans and is the fastest production TVR at over 200mph. 2002 car.
Cerbera the first hard top 2+2. With a Rover V8 ranging from 4.0-5.0l. Very quick car.
Chimaera the convertible version of the above.
Tamora is fitted with a Straight 6 3.6l engine. Able to do 170mph and 4.2seconds 0-60.
We are up to the middle 2000s so far and TVR produced plenty more cars. Follow for the next 12 years of this Blackpool made car and the all new TVR.
All photos are my own
Can't wait to see the new TVR on the road!
Let’s hope it’s reliable. The engine is from the current Mustang but played with by Cosworth. The new 2018 Mustang engine produces the same power with less extreme tuning and modifications.
The car looks great.
Nice cars ! Love this post
Thanks
The Vixen S4 with a 1300 Triumph Spitfire engine looks like a real sweet ride...
The engine is not powerful enough.
I am not an engineer or a gearhead so I learned something today about an engine. Thanks.
wow .a lot of beautiful car.
i like it.
They are lovely looking cars.
The lines look great
@s0u1 thank you for the info on TRV it is a mark I am less familiar with. I am glad to meet other car guys and gals here on steemit. I have yet to do a painting of a TRV. They have interesting lines and curves. Man that 1988 prototype screams 80’s if you were to pick one for a dream car garage what model and color would you pick and why?
Creativity flows in the waves of now

That is a ride that looks like it would be fun to drive. Scary, but fun. I once got to drive a Sunbeam Alpine Tiger just after getting my driver's license, It had a 289 engine, It was a fun, thrilling, and scare the shit out of you fun drive. i loved it. Thanks for showing all these photo's. I love memory trips.
We do love a Tamora, a real TVR weapon- the Vixen looks an interesting one, never seen one.
I love those early one, they look great.
