"By 1982 Peter Wheeler had taken over from Martin Lilley, and the cheaper 2.0-litre Tasmin 200 (101 bhp Pinto 4pot) was launched. This was not popular however and it was phased out in 1984."

Never bumped into one. Few were made I guess.

I came across this because of my thoughts about a 2-2.4 4pot Tamora . . . S2000 / Elise killer.

Try doing a search on the wedge pages "Tas 200 Cosworth" on may 9th. Very impressive car and looks even better in the flesh. Maybe not an elise beater in the handling dept but performance potential is immense with the relatively inexpensive performance mods for the Cossie engine

Looks nice.

Is there need for a 'new' TVR with a 2 litre 4pot?

Nice

The Tasmin was my first encounter with a TVR (early 80s, I was 13 something). With the 2.8 Ford V6s. I catagoriezed them along with 944s and turbo Esprits then. There is where the 4pot question comes from.
