British Car Maker Of TVR Cars Is Back In Business

America’s introduction to TVR cars was the Griffith, a lightweight, hand built, high performance rocket. Powered by a high output Ford 289 cubic inch engine. With a power to weight ratio that was equal or superior to the high priced exotics, at a fraction of the cost. The Griffith may be a thing of the past, but it’s successor should not disappoint it’s fans. The engine for this new TVR will be developed by Cosworth Engineering, a well known British maker of racing engines.

Les Edgar, Chairman of TVR, said this is a heart-warming situation we find ourselves in. We are mindful that we have taken deposits from customers who have not even seen official pictures of the car. We look forward to revealing more details soon, and to all our customers who have shown their faith, I can promise the new car will exceed expectations in every way”.

The reborn TVR has already sold out it 2017 allocation of cars, with the new car announcing that it has taken 250 deposits in just six weeks. Orders are still being taken but John Casey, TVR’s operations director, says any orders now placed will not be delivered until 2018.

Volumes in year one are said to be limited as the company ramps up production, so the intention will be to take more than 250 orders for 2018. However, there are no plans to sell this limited production car in the U.S for the next few years.
