If I may say so, its review of the latest from TVR and accompanying photos is better and more up to date than that on this very site...

Such great pics too !



TVR's are certainly flawed gems, but god they are good looking ! I really disliked the Sagaris at first - now it seems inspired !

The driving and sports car is scene is richer for their existence. Bravo chaps ! And well done to the US journo and photographer of this site for such a terrific article.

Good stuff, very readable too . I don't TVR PR could have done a better job even if they wanted to.

Ah the irony:-

Edmunds.com said:
"while the Tuscan has a vast trunk capable of swallowing a couple of golf bags."

- the medallion wearers are gonna love this

Whoops I didn't translate it

It should read as :

Edmunds.com said:
"while the Tuscan has a vast trunk capable of swallowing a couple of body bags."


... or at least thats what its used for in US tv and films - which of course are true to life.

Superb!!!! Cant wait to see a write-up in Car And Driver....

I recognised the Racing Green TVR promotional vid released a while back was used in their review....

What an excellent piece! Weren't we saying how TVR needed to improve their web site? Well to be honest those pictures with the addded script gives a much better feel for the cars IMO. Perhaps TVR should use some of them!!!

Bit of an error on photo 2:

"A finished Tuscan 2 (right) sits alongside an entry-level Tamora (its actually a T350C). From here, the cars are transported to dealers across the U.K. (Photo by Lee Bremble)"

Nope, in Swordfish it had a gatling gun or similar in the boot...

What a fabulous article.

Refreshing to see a writer giving good impressions and pointing out the benefits instead of pointing out weaknesses.

Top piccies aswell.
