Just read Car mag with the electric blue Tamora and a statement from TVR, that's what it says in the mag, here's the quote -

'When you choose a TVR, you take your destiny into your own hands.' Come on and 'av a go...

No better words could discribe TVR ownership!

Are there any other statements out there, which could discribe it better ??

Being a Griff owner, and one who enjoys winding my good mate TdF up about the lack of a glove box on his Chimera, this is one of my faves - taken from the TVR Brochure - Summer 1995 (page 28)


So many people have asked: why did TVR produce the Chimera when the Griffith was already available? ...... The answer is really quite simple. While every sports car enthusiast desperately loves the Griffith's looks and hankers after its uncompromising performance, many would willing trade a little of that car's pure ability in exchange for a little more space and a little more of a saloon car's ride.

And I guess much less laundry needs doing with the Chimps

I often get a cab back from Manchester airport to Lytham and one of the regular old cabbies is an ex-TVR employee. Nice guy, knows all the cars back from the mid 60s and all the engine combinations that they played with. He maintains the recent Griff is the best car they have ever made and who am I to argue.

I see no reason to get into an argument with a person(BigM) who owns and drives a NOVA, i say no more.

& i hope the Griff doesn't breakdown down on your way to backhome
