We often here of the beauty of our cars. Are they all beautiful?

If there is one, which is the ugly duckling in your opinion?

Sagaris and SEAC, and thats the reason I like them!
Ugly in an aggresive way.

Interesting point Dusty. Some wedges have a beauty bought about by a hint of ugly? (IMO) Do you know what I mean?

S-series, not that i find them ugly as i think they are pretty good looking. It's just that they've not got the extreme styling of other models and miss the agressive look. The v8s looks and sounds a fair bit better.

The Tamora doesn't sell well considering it practically the same animal as the T350. I've heard say that's about appearance. I really like the Tamora so I guess it's 'eye of the beholder'

Editted to add

On the MOST BEAUTIFULL TVR thread Tamora isn't even listed as an option.

The newer models look more aggressive, but the older ones compared to job-pub mobiles... its all a matter of perspective. Check my profile pic, you cant say my S looks tame, can you?

I must say that all TVRs from the Cerbera (excepting the T350)onwards are awful. The Tuscan with its 6 headlights looks stupid. The Tomara is plain ugly.

Non sound good either.....

Kate Bush is a case in point. In some pictures, you wouldn't with somebody elses, in others, Ding Dong!

Very difficult one. Ugly, I'm not sure any are plain ugly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I suppose for me, the rear end of a griff is pretty bad, the front end is just as bad, and the sides are a bit odd. The interior styling is not to my taste either. But there are plenty of people out there of a certain age that thinks it is beautiful to behold peering through their specsavers specials due to failing eye sight - well it's to be expected at their age.










Should really get Mrs. .Mark signed up eh Dusty?

Not sure of the song title but it goes something like:
"wow, wow, wow, wow - I'm so beautiful". Probably something really obvious like beautiful!!!
Maggit - where are you when I need you (no, I'm not moving onto Leo Sayer).

Looks very nice! But it's a V8S, has the right colour and nice wheels.

UGLY: Exterior slats of the Sagaris, every one except the integrated tail-light slat, attenuated rear of the T350, bonnet of the V8S, "tubular" fold of the sill line around the Chimaera, the clumsy, contrived dash grab handle inside the Cerbera, the Tuscan's forced roof panel lines and exaggerated clam shell bonnet ...


... the chopped, slab ended tail of the Griff...

Sorry, no TVR is perfect.

I'm singing the song in my head now, but I can't remember the name. It was on one of her early albums, Lionheart, I think. The same album as "Them heavy people"
