Mass production car companies spend 100's of thousands on vehicle names. TVR raid various sources inc. mythology. Thought i'd try to find out some of the meaning behind the names e.g. Chimaera, Cerbera etc. the link below gives a bit of background on a few of the names -

quote: Yep, it all started back with Jack Griffith in the USA, and so because Griffith sounds a bit like Griffin I guess PW went for Chimaera, Cerbera and Tamora - the Queen of the Goths!
