| TVR - radical as ever - have created what can only be described as a
unique interior. No longer raiding parts bins for switches and levers, they now make their
own. Let's take a look at the fixtures and fittings. 
The radio is currently fitted on a swivelling base on top of the shelf that runs across
the car. We suspect the placement of the radio may be revisited in production cars. For
gadget freaks there remains the question of where to fit the satellite navigation system!
Under the radio is the ash tray. It takes the form of a stylish rotating ball. It
appeared to rotate fully, but it wasn't clear how to empty it!
Here we see the instrument panel with the speedo sweeping across the
brass coloured backdrop. Currently positioned behind the wheel are the change up
lights.
On the transmission tunnel are the gold 'twiddlers' which control the windows and the
doors. Rotating the knob lowers or raises the window in proportion to the amount of
rotation. These take some getting used to! Pressing the button opens the door.
The transmission tunnel is now trimmed in leather much like the Cerbera. The
unfortunate looking quilted look in the original car has long gone.
The seats provide good lateral support and a removable squab to gain extra height. This
is designed to allow the wearing of a helmet with the roof on, on a track day.
The roof was a totally new design for TVR. Back in the eighties they
pioneered the two piece convertible with the hard removable centre sections. Here they've
gone for the Targa type roof. The panel slots into the front windscreen rail and is held
in place with bolts which are released from the rear hoop, using levers in the boot.
The rear screen also slips out. It has a lip which slips under the rear roof rail and
is then clipped into place at the base. These clips sit under the
bootline. |
