I know the next motor show is a long, long way off yet but reading about it got me thinking.... What's next for TVR?

Will the Tuscan R see the light of day?

Will we see a Tamora S?

What will they do with the Cerbera?

Will they resurrect the Griffith, with the latest chassis, a 4.5 AJP8 engine and call it Tasmin?

What do you guys think? What would be on your wish list?

Remember going to the Motor Show circa 96(?) and saw a yellow Speed Six Griffith on the stand? Must have died a death cos I've never seen one!



TVR owner one day (after Christmas)

in my eyes the griff is what made tvr what they are to day allowing them to produce new cars,i think they should consentrate on the us market before a new car.

yet if the griff is to continue dont spoil the legend it has created

My orginal remark about resurrecting the Griff was a 'bit tongue in cheek' - dont want to start that one up again!

What I meant was, every year TVR seem to put something new on their motorshow stand (okay it may never get produced) but it has the desired effect. To get the cheque books waving... what would tempt you to get your cheque book out?!?

For me I think it would have to be a modernised version of the 'Tuscan racer', with a 4.5 AJP V8, the latest chassis (with lessons learnt from the Tamora), a decent interior and a proper hood. Now that would be a beast of a car...

It would be good if TVR could get enough backing and go for LeMans - just look at how MG used that to their success Even though the two cars didnt finish this year they did bl**dy well for their first outing and they stayed in the limelight for most of the event.

Good marketing opertunity me thinks...

I think we will see a new Coupe as a replacement of the Cerbera.

TuscanR will be at the Autosportshow in Birmingham in the beginning of next year.

Road going Tuscan racer - yes please

However, I hear that the factory will be cashing in on the 'retro' trend and producing an affordable fully convertible model based on the old M series with a V8 engine, prob with a 'S' suffix or prefix in line with the Tuscan S.
