Built In A Shed - The Story Of TVR

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

12:18 v8 wasnt designed in house but was an old buick engine that rover bought off them and used for years...only the AJP engines were in house engines the v8 and straight 6 the v12 was 2 x speed sixes joined together

Good explanation of the companies history exept the Chimaera was not an in line 6, it has the the same V8 engine choices as the Griff, 4L, 4.3, 4.5 and 5L Rover V8's, they were basically the same car under the body, Chimaera being slightly more comfortable GT model.

No car company had better paint or a better story than TVR

Does anyone know what was built or stored in Unit 9/10.

[@bellevueace6]

Enjoyed that, but too many errors in terms of the engines used to list…

[@robertparton6705]

You need to do your research properly! The S cars and the Chimaera was never fitted with an in line 6 cylinder engine or an AJP V8 only the Cerbera had this unit. As well as this the Chimaera was TVR best selling model,mechanical identical to a Griff, this allied to the fact that there was a 4 4.3 litre model Griff before he 500 and yes I am a TVR Owner.

Welp, mistakes happen. I tried to cram-write this entire essay in about 2 hours. I must've misread some of my research. Thanks for letting me know. Also, what TVR do you own?

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

1:41 that isnt the founder Trevor Wilkinson btw that is Bill Bewley, Director of the Lakeland Motor Museum where the car is kept. Trevor is the guy IN the car at 1:57

[@kanjo7132]

I know, I never meant for that to be a picture of Trevor himself. Just bad timing I guess.

Great little write up ! I learnt something here and I'm a TVR fan! Should have included the Tuscan though. It was in loads of films! (Loony tunes, fast and the furious ,XXX, Swordfish to name a few ).

[@kanjo7132]

Did I really miss the Tuscan? Oh shit lol.

[@andyplage6590]

Quite a few inaccuracies sadly 1st was wedges never had inline 6 only inline 4 Pinto ford and 1st 2+2 was wedge FHC cerbera wasn't 1st hardtop either 🤔 I'm sure there many more I've not noticed
