Product Description

A complete photographic record of all the cars produced by Blackpool-based TVR, from the earliest 'specials' built in the early 1950s by founder Trevor Wilkinson, to the latest muscular supercars evolving under the new Russian ownership. TVRs have always stood out from the crowd, both for their often controversial styling and for their sheer innovation, and few people would dispute that a TVR has presence. Here, the rollercoaster history of TVR is told through photographs, including many taken behind the scenes during development and production. Essential reading for all TVR enthusiasts and sports car fans. First edition published in 1998 by Sutton Publishing in the Photographic History of Transport series.

Customer Reviews

An excellent history of the firm and their vehicles.
If you are looking for a book on the history of TVR and the marque, then look no further - this is an excellent read with lots of great pictures showing the vehicles, the people behind the legend and some of the plans the company has to become a world beater. Although many of the pictures are B&W, don't let that put you off, because the quality more than makes up for this. Overall, an excellent read for anyone who lusts after a "Blackpool Bomber"
