The original TVR Typhon. Built in 2004 but never delivered this car was recommissioned by the current owner in 2011 and has covered less than 7000 kms since.

The no expense spared recommissioning included a high torque Quaife diff, heavy duty 5 speed manual With long 5th gear for continental cruising, Syvecs management system with 8 bespoke engine maps, traction control, Racing Greens Triple F engine and a pair of bespoke child seats.

The all carbon fibre body bonded around a steel tubular chassis makes for the most rigid TVR ever made,the CAD and tunnel tested design makes for the most stable TVR ever to hit the roads!

The all English, straight 6 4.0L sequential injection engine delivering well over 400 BHP and high torque, weighing just 1000 kg and the ability to apply this power with utmost control , the performance is staggering.

The Typhon was the pinnacle of TVR car production and came about solely as a need to homologate the company's ambition to go to Le Mans with a car built specifically for GT racing. Racing successfully from 2001 to 2005.

Unlike any other TVR road car this is a GT race car made road legal but with its adjustable Ohlins suspension, genuine 2+2 capacity, long range fuel tank, traction control and top of the range management system this is arguably one of the finest and fastest, performance GT cars this country has ever produced.

With only three Typhons ever made and the history behind this model this car represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the world's most unique cars.

Pher doctorD ordered that car, but they could never get the supercharger to work without overheating so it was never delivered. There was a thread in here about it waaaaay back in the day.

It is DA's car, that is his website and while it WAS for sale I'm pretty sure he's now withdrawn it.

While it's correct they struggled with the supercharger the original customer had paid for the car and was awaiting its imminent delivery when Smolenski decided he wasn't going to sell it to him and kept it..... I believe he did get a refund but was more upset at not receiving the car.
