TVR Tina

I see that a prototype TVR Tina (1967 Coupe) is in the Silverstone auction at the NEC Classic car show in a couple of weeks.

Not sure how I feel about a TVR, based on a Hillman Imp and with an 875cc engine. Not a bad looking car, and certainly unique, but it seems "wrong" somehow :-)

I can't help thinking that the designer must have intended the Tina to have a front ( and rear? ) bumper. That would make a huge visual difference.

I actually prefer it without bumpers, it seems cleaner that way although I suppose a talented designer could integrate them better than my clunky imagination can.

The more I look at this car, the more I like the styling, inside and out. It'll be interesting to see what it goes for in the auction, could be a decent investment for someone.
