TVR 420 Saloon

[JenkinsComp]

I was just sifting through my library of car stuff and found this card, which I picked up from the motor show in (I think) 1987.
Thought TVR fans might like to see it, bit of a blast from the past.
Reminds me a bit of the Maserati Biturbo when I look at it now, not that it ever did at the time.

Have seen that photo before, still can't work out if the angles work on the car but the front of the car still lives on, as it was modified and grafted onto the front of the White elephant

Go right ahead!
Nose works much better on the FHC bodyshell of the White Elephant though.

Seen that picture before somewhere. As it is there it looks basically like a Wedge with a roof. Even the Oz alloys are the same as fitted to SE Wedges.

Wasn't aware that that particular nose morphed into the current White Elephants though.


Early 4 seat Cerbera concept.

Always reminds me of this old kit car of similar vintage



I still like the 420.. didnt it get cut up and the front become the white elephant

But then I quite like the Ferrari 400 and the aston lagonda

Thanks for posting...but....god that's fugly !

The Yanks would have loved it with the stubby rear end and slab sides, as with the horrid Volvo 740 saloon.

As a proper 'fastback' coupe...yes, but the 350i (and +2) had already been produced.
