Lovely question OP, thanks. Seems TVR love has waned here. I remember when the whole place smelled of glue.
I concur with the desire for Maserati and Citroen choices...would you consider a second thread with alternative marques?

And my own ‘Desert Island Discs’ rule on this thread:

Bentley, Continental GT Speed, because they are otherworldly in their performance & I really like they way they look.



British Leyland (any marque, but only one), Landcrab Rally Car.



Citröen, DS23, the ultimatum evolution & probably EV converted as there is no car less reliant on it’s engine for the experience. I think Electric power would suit perfectLy.



Land Rover, the original Range Rover.



Maserati, Ghibli Cup.



Opel/Vauxhall GM Europe, Manta400.



Peugeot, had to be really.



Rover, Sterling, nostalgia only.



Rolls Royce, Silver Spirit, for wafting.



Saab, 900 T16. So 80’s W.London.



Toyota, a box fresh HiLux would be a thing of joy.



Volvo, very early 360GLT, I like them.



VW (includes Audi NSU etc), 1944 Schwimmwagen.



Something Eastern Block, Zil 41047.
