Do you know of any others then?
I (and many others I think) thought that this car never made it past the prototype stage at Blackpool so seeing photos of one and hearing that there may be more is very interesting.
Is it fast?
Mmm, to be honest....I (and many others I think) thought that this car never made it past the prototype stage at Blackpool so seeing photos of one and hearing that there may be more is very interesting.

I don't know the exact number, I told almost 10 because we went to about 3/4 dealers before decide to buy this one...
And all them had one model to test...
We didn't like the colours of those models, so we didn't take them, and ordered a new one (this one... )
I don't know where those test cars are now, but I can assure you we had to wait a VVEEEERRRRYYYY long time for this car !!!
Yes, It's fast
Perhaps not as the 4 litres (I have never tried this model), but certainly fast
If you give gas, also in third gear the wheels loose grip :-|
This is the reason I'd like to install larger tires and 17" wheels...

What amazes me in all of this is how much time and effort must that have cost to develop?
Look at those castings alone, it all looks nicely engineered (not to mention the work involved in making it a 2 litre engine).
Then they built 10 if that and binned the idea.
You would have thought after all that work that they would have offered it as an option on the UK 4 litre.
My guess is that they made nothing (or less!) on those italian bound cars.

Steve Heath Bible says 3 were made, clearly there were a few more.

Sorry, I didn't remember very well, it's 16 years since we bought this TVR... Steve Heath Bible says 3 were made, clearly there were a few more.

When we bought this car, in Italy there were other two V8S 2000 cc, one electric blue (in Rome, used for testers, newspapers and Tv, so, better not to buy this one), and another one grey in Genova, we tried this one, but did'nt like the colour.
So, che number is really 3, those two and mine, it's amazing !!!!!!
