Hi, I am new to PistonHeads, and the forums smile
I have a keen interest in TVR cars and I am currently looking for a book about TVR's, preferably one that covers most of their cars. If anybody could tell me any good TVR books, and where to get them, that would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks smile

The best two books by far are by Peter Filby. The Early Years and A Passion to Succeed. Not cheap but well worth it. There is also Peter's original book Success against the odds, from the 70's. A collector's item that will set you back well over £100.
I will have to have a good look around eBay etc, though £100 does seem a lot of money...

If you find an original one for £100 buy it, the last one I saw on Ebay went for over $400 and someone being a little ambitious on Amazon here CLICKYyikes
wow, pricey! Unfortunately, I don't have that much money wink I would buy it if I could! There is a Haynes book advertised underneath it though, TVR Ever the extrovert, does anyone know if that's any good?

No and I don't really think it would be worth that kind of money. Ever the Extrovert is quite good with some good pictures in it I hadn't seen but be warned it's inaccurate in some places.
ah right, I don't want to read inaccurate or wrong facts smile I suppose that's what you get for the money though!

Just found this post and realised that I have a pristine copy of TVR All The Cars.Bought for me when I had my Cerbera.The Cerb has unfortunately gone and hasn't been replaced by another TVR.If anyone is interested in buying the book (at a lower price than currently on Amazon) on time for Christmas pm me.
How much are you thinking, just out of interest? smile
