That the TVR name comes from the TR7 brand AND TVR used to make replica Spitfires, TR7s and Midgets, oh
. Well, that's what I was reliably informed of by a guy at my local Tesco filling station tonight.
I tried to explain that the TVR name comes from Trevor Wilkinson the founder of the company, but he wouldn't have any of it. So, there you go, Trevor, is a myth. Oh, and his parting words were, when I said my car is a Cerbera, "Well, it looks like they're branching out into some interesting stuff, not practical enough for me though".

Cool I used to have an original TVR then 
first thing a lot of people say to me when i mention TVR is either TR7 or Triumph
although the cerb was once called a daimler by an old bloke in the garage, he said ' you can't beat these old daimlers'
i didnt have the heart to correct him, at the time i wasn't sure if he was jokin but i do actually think he thought it was a Daimler.
Does my nut in!!!Talkwrench said:
