Which TVR has the longest nose when measured from the back of the front wheel arch to the base of the windscreen? The shape makes it difficult to compare unless they are side by side. But I haven't seen ANY TVR for ages, let alone some parked up ready to do such a comparison!

I think the Cerb is a little longer than Tuscan, but is it? Can someone with each model measure up please?

thanks

I'm afraid that I don't know the answer, but I'm more intrigued as to why anyone would want to know.

Also that isn't really a measure of the snout size, more a wheelbase thing.

On a related note the doors of the cerb are about 5'3" which must be the longest of any production car? nerd

Or maybach 62 rears...

I don't think the wedge is very long at all. most of the bonnet is suck out over the front.

Measure the lengths of the two rear side windows in a T350c. After that measure the rear wheels arches at the bottom Also on a T350c. You wouldnt believe it possible. ...Oh yes you would.Its a TVR.
