TVR
For nearly sixty years, TVR produced some of the most thrilling, spine-tingling, hand-built sports cars to emerge from any British motor manufacturer. Yet it was the period between 1981 and 2004, under the management of Peter Wheeler, when the company finally shook off its shed-built roots and proved that it could produce cars that could match anything from Maranello or Stuttgart in terms of performance, but at a fraction of their price. Illustrated with over 300 photographs, TVR - Cars of the Peter Wheeler Era tells the story of the design, development and engineering of some of TVR's fastest, outrageous and most successful cars, from the retro-styled S1, to the racing Tuscan, 1000bhp Speed Twelve and the brutal Sagaris.
TVR - All the Cars
From the earliest specials built in the early 1950s by founder Trevor Wilkinson to the latest muscular supercars, TVRs have always stood out from the crowd. TVR: All the Cars provides a model-by-model appreciation of each generation of the Blackpool marque's products, all of which have been test-driven by the author, who is delighted to confirm that a modern Sagaris shares significant DNA with a straight-six Vixen of 1972, although the Sagaris is somewhat nippier. The chronological coverage of each car, usefully peppered with inside information, is complemented by a look at TVR's racing endeavours and an insight into the world of prototypes, pondering the 'might-have-beens'. For would-be TVR...

TVR Performance Portfolio 2000-2005
TVR sports cars could really only be English. In so many ways they epitomize what sports cars ought to be in this day and age - very fast, exotically styled, loud and politically incorrect. That was all part of the allure of this quixotic range of English cars. Where other makers of sports cars have sourced componentry from all over the world, TVR has determinedly set about making as much of their cars in-house as possible. The arrival of the recent Tuscan, Cerbera, Sagaris, Typhon and Tamora has seen the company phase out the venerable Rover alloy V8 in favor of its own DOHC in-line 3.6-litre 350 bhp six-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels through a TVR-made manual gearbox. To say t...
