[@Dolby109]

It's too bad TVR's aren't still around, they had some of the best and most unique designs of any brand. It's too bad they were so unreliable. Hopefully they will make a comeback and continue building light and crazy cars, but maybe with a more established engine manufacturer.

[@jackedrussell]

Adam S TVRs are coming back. It's not confirmed exactly when, but it should be some time next year. The first TVR the new owners are going to make is the Sagaris 2. It's pretty much the same as the 2004 Sagaris, but more power.

[@Dolby109]

***** Even then 15k is not a whole lot...many cars these days go that long between oil changes. I like the idea of TVR building body/chassis and suspension, but IMO it would be better if they sourced an engine/trans, electronics from a larger manufacturer. If they want to keep it all British they could use Jaguar, and if not there are LOTS of options.

[@MrHistorian123]

TVRs are not unreliable. My Chimaera 450 has never broken down in the 7 years and 35000 miles I've had it. It did a 4000 mile trip round Europe and was one of only 4 cars out of 9 to finish (BMW - fail x2, Mazda - fail,) which included the Stelvio Pass. Now with a full chassis rebuild, it's ready to humiliate Porsches for another 20 years.

[@Dawwwg]

TVRs biggest reliability-issue is the driver's right foot...

[@kingcurry6594]

Correct. To drive a TVR you have to be a good driver.

[@FAT8893]

The Sagaris still looks striking despite its age.

[@MuShinnen]

Crazy that they can be bought as kits brand new for cheaper than when they first came out. 60k US gets you the entire kit. If I had the money I'd be building one by now.

So were thes the last LARGE straight sixes in automotive history? Nothing beats the sound of a of these, to my ears anyway.

[@JC-zg4xe]

The Ford Falcon had a 4.0L straight six until production ended in 2016

[@gerardmontgomery280]

It's not just the size, it's the fact it's high revving, naturally asperated and has over 100bhp per litre.

[@Arayig1982]

Never heard of BMW and Mercedes Benz?

[@GadgetyMV]

@@Arayig1982 E34 M5, 3.8 was back in 1995, a great engine, but it ended prior to TVRs offering. The e46 M3, however great, was only a 3.2, so not really the same kind of displacement. Mercedes offering, more long stroke, not particularly charismatic inline sixes, and also smaller displacement.

[@tanner1ie]

While the closet i've come to driving a TVR is in the Gran Turismo series, where the cars often feature heavily, often excelling in certain roles, most recently i bought a TVR Tamora specifically because it was one of the best cars to use for a particular series. I've first noticed many cars or brands while playing games in the GT series and it was while playing GT1 or 2 that i first noticed TVR as it had a particular event or challenge where you had to drive a Griffith. It was also while played the GT series that made me really want a Mazda 6, and i bought a first and second generation model as my second and third cars :) . Though i can't really afford a third generation 6, right now, i'll get one as soon as i can, it's also a pity that GT6 in general didn't have a massive amount of new cars or other content over GT5 (while it is a good game, it's more like GT5.5 than GT6 :_ ), specifically i was rather disappointed it also doesn't have the new 6 in it, so i could at least have a digital one :) . (My first car was a Ford Focus saloon, which it's also a pity a GT game has never featured, though it has had several hatchback versions of the car :) .)

[@stuf3453]

[@waytosacramento3843]

I know that not many Brits would like to hear that, but a „German“ owner could be the solution to TVR. The cars have the spirit, the blood, the passion and the design. But the quality is beyond mediocre. No idea what happens to TVR in the future, no news on the „new“ (2017) Griffith as far as I know. It would be a real shame to let this legacy die!

[@tollyt7465]

TVR don't need any German interference with their cars thanks.. That would dilute the visceral nature of the brand that drivers love.. With Gordon Murray's input in chassis design, 50:50 weight distribution, and Ford's 5.0 litre Mustang quad cam engine "tweaked" to 500hp by Cosworth, the new Griffith will be a full on supercar and many hypercars destroyer.. And build quality shouldn't be a problem with Murray over seeing things..

[@dankmemesmeltexistentialdr2769]

German cars actually do very badly in reliability ratings

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

They would be full of faulty electrics and bland styling they call it "modernising"

[@jstdrv]

How are Maseratis, Ferraris and McLaren for reliability? Porsche wins that contest. TVR wins the flair and exitement contest.

[@mikecraig8454]

Tuscans were always overrated. They were an absolute handful to drive, particularly in the wet. Tamoras were far better, a pity they didn't look as good. When you were in one it literally felt 2/3rds the weight of a Tuscan. Never drove a Sagaris though, couldn't afford one! The 20 grand plus price rise was when they lost me as a customer, and almost everyone else too.

TVR were always engines on floppy chassis' with cheap fibreglass bodies and very very poor build quality. Simply put, crap cars with light bodies and horsepower with amazing exhaust notes. They were always the brand to be brave and stand out with their looks but that was never enough. They were too complacent in their market. A Russian with £20 million was never going to save them.

[@TheLaXandro]

+mazdaman1980 the russian with 20 million is the one who ruined them. They were going kinda well before him.
