Find of the day: TVR Tuscan S MK1 LHD for sale in Praha

tvr_tuscan_s_mk1_for-sale-left_hand-drive-0-100_1
Flex Motorsport a.s. of Praha (Czeck Republic), has a rare TVR Tuscan S MK1 with left Hand Drive for sale. That's totally an interesting unit as "it seems" it hasn't been reviewed in the Register of TVR Tuscan Speed-6 with Left Hand Drive. The car is claimed to be a 10/2003 (a later Tuscan S Mk1 so much more reliable, as owners said, than pristine units) and has only 5.600 kms. Even the price, given these conditions, could be really interesting: 46.000 euros. But this poor Tuscan Read more [...]

European TVR meeting 2012 at Zolder: a photo report

tvr_eruropean_meeting_zolder_2012_tvrblog_1
The TVR Car Club of Holland is probably the best TVR Car Club outside England (German and French gentlemen? What do you think about it?). There are two main reasons: the small village of Alphen aan den Rijin is considered the Dutch Blackpool due to the great number of TVRs you can find along its streets. And the Dutch enthusiasts, every year, organize the largest TVR meeting of Europe. The 2012 edition of the event at Zolder track was of course a success. Dutch TVR Car Club's member Matthijs Read more [...]

TVR Cerbera MK1 Left Hand Drive for sale in Germany

tvr_cerbera_lhd_for_sale_1
Now we'd need the interest of a serious TVR Enthusiast to preserve this sort of masterpiece. Car n.6 of the Register of the TVR Cerbera with Left Hand Drive is for sale in Germany. This rare Cerbera 4.2 MK1 (first registration in November 1996) carries again an English license plate: P596 ODA. I've been always told that ALL Cerberas which are in existance today should be nearly 4. They all exit Blackpool plant with Right Hand Drive and then they were taken to former Swiss official TVR importer Read more [...]

Mille Miglia 2012: the TVRs on the Italian roads

mille_miglia_2012_Tvr-unofficial_blog_1
Even it's a bit too late (but maybe it's never so late for TVRs), people at Caldicarphoto.com were at the last Mille Miglia. They were so lucky to meet on the Raticosa and Futa passes some TVRs coming from Germany and UK to live the incredible atmosphere of the most beautiful road race of all motoring history (and I think  that if the REAL Mille Miglia survived until nowadays, you could attend the race with your TVR simply with the race numbers on the doors!). There was a very nice TVR V8 Read more [...]

TVR Tuscan S MK1: a Left Hand Drive example has a new life!

tvr_tuscan_s_mk1_left_hand_drive_1
TVR Tuscan S MK1 LHD n.13 of the Register of TVR Tuscan Speed6 with Left Hand Drive passed a long time in poor conditions at a dealer in South Germany. I have been seeing this car for sale for many months, giving a price lower and lower. Finally a German enthusiast bought this fantastic TVR with dark grey paint and green leather. He was awared this "beast" didn't receive any care since 2008. This surely would have caused a big bill for his wallet. But never mind. His passion for TVRs was Read more [...]

Le Mans Classic 2012 – TVR Car Club of France’s meeting: the Tuscans

lemans_classic_2012_tvr-tuscan_lhd_tvr_blog_11
AAAAAAH, the incredible styling of a TVR Tuscan Speed 6: please try to find a modern car with such an exciting body. I'm not sure you won't find a more original body styling than the coupé-targa supercar from Blackpool. The meeting at Le Mans gave me the chance to admire a very nice Tuscan MK1 (she had the front low splitter of the Tuscan S Mk1), a TVR Tuscan MK2 in very nice raspberry color and a very interesting unit: the dark grey TVR Tuscan "MK3" is probably one of the last Tuscan Speed Read more [...]

Le Mans Classic 2012: TVRs on the main straight of the track

lemans_classic_2012_tvr-panning_4
I was at Le Mans for the Le Mans Classic 2012: it's hard to say which is the best between it and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. At Le Mans I never saw so many Caterhams, Marcos, Cobras and GT40 replicas together! I was so happy to find out the TVR Car Club of France organized a meeting here, and many English cars crossed the Channel to be here. On saturday morning, while I was at the paddock, I attended some free laps with many British cars. And the show the TVRs gave me was exciting. Every Read more [...]

TVR Tuscan MK2 LHD: the “portuguese”

tvr_tuscan_mk2_left_hand_drive_tvrblog_1
Thanks to Bjorn, we can know something more about car n. 40 of the Register of TVR Tuscan with Left Hand Drive. This is the ex-Portuguese car, which went back to the UK and is now located in Germany. Original registration is MH05 FCD, which then was turned to a private plate with the first owner (YV05 TVR). It then was returned to the original registration at the DVLA prior to sale which happened 4 weeks ago. The car is absolutely immaculate and has covered just 7.800 miles (april 2012).

Fritz, surely one of the nicest Austrian guys ever, owns three TVRs: a TVR Chimaera 400 Left Hand Drive (that's car n. 20 of the Register of TVR Chimaera with Left Hand Drive), a TVR Tuscan S MK1 with Left Hand Drive (it's car n.42 of the Register of TVR Tuscan LHD) and a TVR Sagaris. In this video he drives his Sagaris climbing Austrian Alps along spectacular landscapes. And the sound of the Speed 6 engine, of course is gorgeous. During the video, take a look at his watch and you'll realize what's Read more [...]

Video: TVR Sagaris LHD from Italy

tvr_sagaris_lhd_video
TVR Sagaris n.3 of the Register of TVR Sagaris with Left Hand Drive was filmed while it was in Italy. This car was registered new in Italy in 2007. Colour combination is absolutely stunning: black paint, red leather. Later I suggested that this Sagaris was for sale in Italy in Florence. A Middle East TVR enthusiast (who owns a TVR Cerbera MK2 too) and TVR Unofficial Blog's fan found it and took it in his country. Now it's so far from Italy but undoubtely in very good hands! I'm sorry Read more [...]
