Not trying to provoke or anything, but which TVR do you reckon is the greatest in factory spec?

Something from the 90s surely - Griffith or Cerberra perhaps? Or are the Tempest and Typhoon the ultimate evolution? Maybe the original Griffiths and Tuscans for scaring the hell out of everyone who drove them?

The reason I say this is growing up in the 90s everyone seemed to want a Griffith, but in the various general TVR stuff threads the cerb seems to be the best supported. Is that then the best combination of performance, fun-factor and affordability? smile

Close call between Grif and Cerb, got to be one of the V8 cars as they really encapsulate what it's all about.

Much as I would like to say the Tamora wink, I think the Griff because it was so way ahead of its time.

A griff is for people who want a Chim but aren't pretty enough to own one wink

A 1999 Blue Chimaera 450 and a 2005 Candy Apple Red Sagaris with the Vents cut out ARE THE BEST TVR'S EVER.

I should think it's the car that most petrolheads wanted/bought at the time it was on sale...as they put their money where their mouth was.

So, which model sold the most scratchchin





End of.
