	TVR Tuscan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TVR rejects the notion that these features, along with airbags, are "safety devices" and believes that, based on testing and experience, their cars are safer without these things than with them.
		In the 2001 film Swordfish, the TVR Tuscan had a major role; it was the car that characters played by John Travolta and Hugh Jackman used to evade a gang of hit men.
		TVR's design philosophy holds that such features do not improve either the performance or safety of their vehicles and thus they are not so equipped.

	TVR Chimaera - Review
		As with most modern TVRs the dashboard is a lesson to the purveyors of plastic that a stylish interior is always possible from simple age old British recipe.
		TVR is still tarnished with questions over built quality but the Chimaera is showing the benefits of a long production life.
		The range of cars on offer now from TVR is admirable for a low volume manufacturer.

	Sports Vehicle Encyclopedia: tvr tamora
		TVR styling cues, the Tamora has been designed to be less extreme and indeed simpler in some aspects than the Tuscan.
		The engine is a 3.6 litre version of TVR's own straight six, pushing out 350 bhp at 7200 rpm giving the car extremely brisk performance.
		For example, the car is a full convertible with the roof mechanism being the acclaimed stowable hard-top design from the Griffith and Chimaera.

	TVR Hire - from Tangent Performance - TVR and Ferrari Hire - wedding and special occasion hire, TVR Tuscan Ferrari F355.
		The whole philosophy at TVR is that the shape of the car comes first so the constraints of conventional industry thinking have not been an issue.
		It has TVR’s own straight six engine and has a novel roof design whereby, despite looking like a fixed head coupé, it is able to stow its roof and rear window in the boot, while still leaving room for luggage.
		The other advantage of basing the chassis on that of TVR’s one make race series car is that there is probably no chassis anywhere in the world that has been so often and so comprehensively crash tested.

	TVR
		Step inside a carefully hand-crafted TVR and drive it, however, and one knows immediately the real truth: that there is much more to these British-bred beasts than first meets the eye, that they are paradoxical and that the truth goes far deeper than the cars' antecedent notoriety perhaps implies.
		But none of TVR's character, flair or soulfulness has been compromised in making the cars more pragmatic; in fact, it is precisely because of the latest models' profound capabilities and luxuriousness that the experience is enriched even more than ever before.
		Today, TVR's prodigious power and performance is married to a new, real-world sophistication.

	CarNetGuide - TVR Chimaera
		Unfortunately TVR do not have a reputation for the highest reliability although fundamentally the cars are quite sound and very well priced considering their shattering performance.
		The interior is one of TVR's strong points presented in leather and walnut but with refreshingly modern style.
		To own and run a TVR you do need to be an enthusiast.

	New and Used TVR Tuscan
		Cerbera - Chimaera- Griffith 500 - Sagaris - T350 - Tamora - Tuscan - Typhon
		Peculiar frontal styling is striking and hints at the massive power from either the 4.0-litre straight-six 390bhp engine in the Tuscan S or the 350bhp 3.6-litre unit in the standard Tuscan.
		Outrageous as ever, the Tuscan range has been extended with the addition of a new engine to the line-up.

		It was the first hard top TVR to be made since the Tasmin finished production in 1985.
		Powered by a 4.5 V8, 4.2 V8 or a 4.0 straight 6 (all engines made by TVR) this car is devastatingly quick.

	SUPERCARS.NET - 1995 TVR Chimaera
		It takes TVR's craftsmen 450 man hours to build every Chimaera and the attention to detail is immediately obvious from the hand-stitching of the leather seats to the shine of the burr walnut dashboard.
		The TVR Chimaera was introduced at the 1992 Birmingham Motor Show and was instantly hailed a success.
		For 2001, the car had a revised front end again with covered headlights as well as having Cerbera seats fitted and the full complement of TVR's much praised aluminium switchgear.

	TVR Tuscan Road Racer
		Some of the newer conversions feature AJP engines from crashed Cerberas (TVR lease the engines to the racers) whilst this particular model has a Rover 4.5 litre V8 chucking out 420 bhp and 350 lb/ft of torque.
		Originally used in the Tuscan Challenge it was then taken out of the series and used for sprinting and hillclimbing.
		Quite a number of race Tuscans have been made road legal now, although generally you still find them on racetracks, but for track days rather than racing.

		The TVR Car Club is always represented at the major national classic car shows, such as the Bristol Classic Car Show, the Bromley Pageant, the Classic and Sportscar show at the NEC and the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
		We have always argued that with the performance available in any TVR, it cannot be fully exploited on the public highway so we give our members the opportunity to drive on the race circuit at our various track days.
		We support TVRs in Motorsport and a large TVR Car Club gathering always makes the annual pilgrimage to Le Mans in France every June for the '24 Heures du Mans'.

	TVR Chimaera
		There are various TVR specialists around the country and I have used a few (see Links section) who charge very reasonable prices and did a very good job.
		The 4.0 HC engine is a tweaked version of the 4.0, with different cam, duplex timing chains and some additional head work TVR quote the engine as developing 275bhp and 305lb/ft, although these figures are known to be a bit of a myth - normal outputs seem to be around 30bhp down on these figures.
		I spent a lot of time researching TVR ownership and running costs and found the Pistonheads website an invalable resource.

		I guess I'm lucky as I use the TVR as a second car; to be honest I think it would be a real handful to drive every day.
		My Blue Chimaera 450 is a 99 model, 1 owner can with full TVR history.
		Been looking for a TVR for about 9 months, searching t'internet, M.O.D., Autotrader et al and managed to find the perfect car (touch wood) 8 miles away.

	TVR Sagaris : News & Reports : Motoring : Web Wombat
		The TVR Sagaris costs about £50,000 (€75,000) or $122,000 in Australian dollars and, even if you tack on another $20K for compliance and exportation costs, the $150,000 total will still be enough to trounce a Ferrari 360 Modena, the asking price for which is more than double: $369,500.
		TVR's Sagaris is based on the T350, which was itself a well-disguised road-going racecar.
		Because of its smaller clientele, TVR can go to town with its vehicle design, and the latest model to roll off the marque's Blackpool production line is one such example of vehicle design that adheres to no guidelines, letting aerodynamics and artistic flair dictate its form.

	TVR Sagaris Coupe 4.0 2dr - Autocar Online
		New owner Nikolai Smolenski took over TVR roughly one year ago: since then his company has produced a revised Tuscan and now the Sagaris; the former is a much better car than its predecessor, the latter is the most accomplished and best TVR in history.
		TVR unveiled a prototype Sagaris in December 2003, but it’s taken a year and a half and a change of chairman before the car has made it to production.
		Considering TVR got some of the best names in the business to help fine-tune the car’s dampers, it will be interesting to experience the results.

	TVR Sagaris Car Reviews - Road Tests evo
		Sagaris production was due to start in the middle of last year, but when Nikolai Smolenski took over TVR he stalled the car's launch to embark on a more thorough quality programme than had previously been the norm at Blackpool.
		TVR's line-up is a little confusing these days but the Sagaris is intended to be the 'hero road- racer' of the T350 series, a line-up that includes the Tamora convertible, T350C coupe and T350T targa.
		Underneath all this gappy glassfibre is the traditional TVR spaceframe, a double-deck ladder backbone structure made of large- diameter tubes with outriggers onto which the body is mounted.

	TVR Sagaris Car Previews - Premiere Auto Express
		TVR has made quite a song and dance about the Sagaris being its ultimate road and track car.
		Unless TVR wants to end up in court, it had better bolt the thing in place, instead of the velcro arrangement.
		Still, TVR claims 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 8.1 seconds and a full whack of 195mph.
