I have to say, I think these still look great. If the "new" TVR is anything like this, I think they have a winner.

Anyways, here's the information, taken from this website. It's an interesting read on the whole Le Mans / Typhon TVR program.


Car No 3 - The T440R (Homologation Car 2):
This was the prototype used by Martin Brundle in his 2003 Supercar DVD. It was displayed at the 2002 NEC Motor Show as the T440R before doing a tour of regional showrooms. At this specific moment in time there is no firm evidence as to what happened to this car. The current speculation is that during late 2003 it may have been retrimmed and painted and have become one of the later vehicles.
