Grantura Vixen
1958 - 1969
This car can be seen as somewhat of a "kit car", particularly the early models where the buyer could choose between motors sourced from Ford, BMC and Coventry Climax but had no say on the VW suspension components used. | 3000M
1972 - 1979
At the heart of the TVR 3000M was the mighty Ford V6 engine, a willing and eager unit as any Capri V6 owner will attest. It was a remarkably tractable engine, pulling from under 1000 rpm in top gear, and its relative lightness, coupled with the TVR's tubular steel space frame chassis and unstressed fibreglass body, was one of the keys to the quick acceleration of the TVR 3000M. | Taimar
1977 - 1979
Following what was a popular trend of the 1970s, TVR brought out their own hatchback, the Taimar in 1977. The hatchback option gave a new lease of life to what was, despite numerous detail improvements over the years, a very sixties' looking body-shell. Basically similar to the 3000M, the Taimar was given revised instrumentation and switchgear, new heating-and-ventilation system, and different suspension settings. |
