It has 200 horsepower and turns the 1/4 mile in 14.2. I built it to autocross and thus handles very well and a hell of a lot better than my Tiger.



My dream car....


and you own one. Hats off to ya!!!

Dave, a friend of mine in the UK was in the TVR club [He sold the car after one of our mutual mates was killed in a spin off the road ]

One of the guys came out with a beaut at a barbeque we were having; "People have the impression TVRs are very low cars, but in their natural environment, on the back of a trailer, they're quite tall, really"
