Jay,
The TVR's were a realization of a boy hood dream. I used to live only a few hundred yards from the factory in Blackpool in the North of England and as a 10 year old I used to see these beautiful, fast and noisy beasts being blasted around the local streets by the factory engineers. When I could finally afford one, I just had to have one.....or three as I ended up with over the years.
The first was a Chimaera with the 4.0 Rover sourced V8. It only had 240 bhp but was quick ish and sounded great.
The second was the 2+2 Cerbera with a 360 bhp flat six engine that was an absolute screamer.
The last one I had was a 2001 Tuscan, which was a shorter chassis version of the Cerbera but with the same engine. The car looked great but the handling was suspect and I never really liked that one.
All told though, I loved them and it was a sad day when they shut the factory a few years ago.
