Pic Of The Week: TVR-tastic

PH goes back to its roots with a quartet of Blackpool rockets

If you want to get hold of four TVRs for a magazine feature, there's only one place to look - PistonHeads.

That's exactly what Classic and Sports Car magazine did when they needed to find a quartet of Blackpool's finest for the cover story of their December 2009 issue. Where better to find them, after all, than on a site that started life 11 years ago as a destination for TVR enthusiasts?

C&SC's tribute to TVR's 1990s heyday features a Griffith 4.0, Griffith 500, a Cerbera 4.2 and a Chimaera 4.5, each the pride and joy of a doting PHer.

If you want to read more about C&SC's impressions of their time with the TVRs, you can pick up a copy of the magazine in any good newsagent - it went on sale yesterday.

They've also let us nick a couple of their pictures from the article, so we thought it was high time for a TVR-based pic of the week. We've even added in an extra thumbnail for you, because we're nice that way...

Excelent picture and cars, I needed a new backgrownd.

Funny enough I was looking at Chims and Griff's in the classifieds only yesterday.

Was looking into chopping in the impreza for something less practical, this pic has just sold the idea.

Griff 500 you say?

[ronin.]

Nice pic - just reminds me of what we used to have, and how things can change

[snotrag]

Fantastic.


Come on then - whos are the cars? Consider yourselfr right clicked.

Any chance of the background story of the owners and their cars?

Nice article and some great photography. There's also a really rather lovely Lancia Flaminia Convertible in there too.

Doh, it explains that in the article doesn't it.
