Product Description
A complete photographic record of all the cars produced by Blackpool-based TVR, from the earliest 'specials' built in the early 1950s by founder Trevor Wilkinson, to the latest muscular supercars evolving under the new Russian ownership. TVRs have always stood out from the crowd, both for their often controversial styling and for their sheer innovation, and few people would dispute that a TVR has presence. Here, the rollercoaster history of TVR is told through photographs, including many taken behind the scenes during development and production. Essential reading for all TVR enthusiasts and sports car fans. First edition published in 1998 by Sutton Publishing in the Photographic History of Transport series.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Overall:   November 28, 2006
If your a fan of TVR cars, but no little of the companies background or history, then this is the perfect book. As mentioned above, there isn't a whole lot of specific model information, but as a fasinating read into the companies past, it is a must read for TVR fans.


4 out of 5 stars You'll become a TVR fan after reading this book!   September 15, 1999
The name TVR might not be as well known as MG, Morgan or other British manufacturers, but there is no doubt that the marque has an interesting history.

This book covers all models ever produced, from the Grantura to arguably two of the most desireable sports cars available anywhere, the Chimaera and the Cerbera.Unfortunately, that is the reason why this book scores only four stars. It would have been better if the cars themselves could be discussed in more detail, and the interviews with the owners could be shortened. Another point of criticism is that not much is said about the founder of the company, Trevor Wilkinson. However, the story of the current owner, Peter Wheeler"s dog who had a "hand" in the design of the Chimaera is very amusing. If you want to know the story behind this, you cannot afford to miss the book.

It would have been nice to have more interior pictures of models like the Taimar, probably one of the most beautiful TVR models ever, the S and the Grantura. That aside, there is absolutely no doubt at all that this book will make you fall in love with these cars. If you are interested in sports cars that are not as common as Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini, this book is well worth it.
