TVR Named roads

[Byker28i]

I drove past Tuscan Road in Swindon today, which started me thinking - are there any more?

Google maps thinks:
Tamora Close, Heathcote, Warwick, UK
Griffiths Drive, Wolverhampton
Chimera, High Road, Beeston, Nottingham
Tasmin Little Music Centre, Bradford

Mythical beast made up from different parts of other beasts, or something like that. Don’t mess with a Chimaera

Ok, the Chimaera is a fish but TVR owners prefer to do it the Greek way and relate the name to the Chimera?

It's not the TVR owners who have chosen to use the specific derivation of Chimera/Chimaera but I believe it was Peter Wheeler who decided on which spelling to use for describing the mythical fearsome beast made up of parts from other creatures.

There's a Tuscan road in Plumstead SE London too.

Thank you, I think I've got it, Peter Wheeler spelt the name of the car wrong?

This is to easy for us who own the older Lilley era TVRs.

We’ve got the M1, M2, M3 , M4,........ etc , etc , etc!

[astonman]

The suggestion " TVR owners prefer to do it the Greek way"?
Do we have a poll on this?

One of the Griff owners on the Facebook page recently posted a picture of his car next to the road sign 'Griffith Rd' North Carolina.

It's a bit of a way to go for a photo op though

[Bollycerb]

How about Breakdown Lane in Moulton borough New Hampshire
