TVR

Picture of TVR

TVR is a British specialist sports car company producing 'Super Cars'. TVR was established in 1947 by Trevor Wilkinson producing special cars using the drivelines from existing production cars, tuned and installed in a lightweight chassis of TVR's own making with minimal bodywork so as to maximise the agility and power-to-weight ratio of the finished vehicle. Until the early 1990's, TVR used engines from other manufacturers in their cars, albeit retuned by TVR. In 1995 TVR produced their V8 engine - the Speed Eight or AJP8 as iyt was also known - which became the world's first racing engine to be de-tuned and installed in a road car: the TVR Cerbera, which as a result could go from standing till to 100 mph in nine seconds. All TVR cars are hand-built in Blackpool to the customer's specifications.
