TVR

 

A fastback fiberglass two seat sportscar which had a variety of power plants over the years

Grantura 1958-1967 The Grantura used most commonly the 1.8 liter B series as in the MGB. About 700 produced.

 

 

 


Griffith 1963-1967 This one had a 289 ford engine stuffed in and the results were excellent performance but suffered an overheating problem. 300 produced.

 

 


Tuscan 1967-1971 A very rare TVR only about 175 produced. Some were V8, about 100 were powered by a V6 3.0 liter English Ford.

 

 


2500M 1972-1977 Replaced the Tuscan. Came to the US market with a Triumph TR 6 powerplant. The European market kept the 3.0 liter V6. This is probably the best of the series. Because of the Triumph engine, parts are available. A TVR does not get the usual body rust that other cars get. They are rare and look great.
