TVR

The TVR Sagaris was the last production car built at Bristol Avenue, Blackpool, a 406 bhp Speed Six coupé on the T350's bones with slashed wings, side-exit exhausts and a glass rear spoiler, 213 built in 2005 and 2006 before the factory closed. A guide to how it came about, what it is like, what to check, and why it is the most valuable modern TVR.

The Cerbera was TVR's great leap, its first in-house engine, a 2+2 coupe body and pace that humiliated supercars at a third of the money. A guide to the Speed Eight and Speed Six cars, the Speed 12 legend, buying checks and values.

The Tuscan name bookends TVR's story, first on the V8 and V6 cars that steadied the sixties company, then on the Speed Six that defined its final flourish, all curves, keyless doors and a screaming straight six. A guide to both eras, buying checks and values.

The M-series was TVR's steady decade, the 1600M, 2500M and 3000M with the Taimar hatchback, built soundly under Martin Lilley and sold worldwide while the company found its feet. A guide to the seventies family, the Turbo, buying checks and values.

Twice in TVR's history the Griffith name meant the same thing, the biggest V8 Blackpool could find in the smallest car that would hold it, first with Ford muscle in 1963 and again with Rover power in 1991. A guide to both eras, the unbuilt 2017 revival, buying checks and values.

The Grantura was TVR's first real production car, a stubby glassfibre coupe that taught Blackpool its trade, and the Vixen that grew from it carried the recipe to 1973. A guide to both families, the marks and engines, buying checks and values.

The TVR Chimaera softened the Griffith formula just enough, Rover V8 thunder, glassfibre curves and a usable boot, and became the best-selling TVR ever built. A guide to the 4.0 to 5.0 cars, what to check on the chassis, and why it remains the great V8 bargain.

TVR built savage, gorgeous glassfibre sports cars in Blackpool for sixty years, backbone chassis, big engines and a proud refusal to fit driver aids, before falling silent in 2006. A guide to the classic TVRs we cover and the seaside factory that terrorised the supercar establishment.
