Thats the T350's engine bay.

 

[Danny]

Ok, a wee little game to discover who truly is the master of TVR knowledge!

Question 1: Give the HP (UK), CC and claimed mpg from the T350/Tamora! (I think they're the same)

 

[TVRKing]

Yep. 👍

Look what I've found. ---> http://www.tvrcc-challenge.com/

Question 2: Give a description of what the following models are names after-
Cerbera
Chimera
Sagaris

 

[Dave A]

Cerbera is taken from the Cerberus the dog the gusrds the gates of hell.
Chimera is also another Greek deity that had the body of a goat, tail of a serpent and head of a lion and breathed fire.
Sagaris is an ancient battle axe.

On another note, the Cerberus and Chimera were both the offspiring of Typhon and Echinda, so will we see a TVR Echinda sometime?

 

[Danny]

Chimera is unfinished, but it's ok.

1-1


Question 3: What year was TVR founded and by whom?

 

[Dave A]

TVR was founded by Trevor Wilkinson in 1947.

 

[TVRKing]

1947, when Trevor Wilkinson built a car based on an Alvis Firebird rolling chassis.

 

[Dave A]

Additionally the company TVR was first set up as Trevcar motors.

 

[TVRKing]

And began selling cars for the US market in the late 50's.

 

[Dave A]

They started producing grp bodyshells in-house in 1958 firt the first time for the Grantura.

 

[Danny]

Erm...let's just say 2-2, mmkay?

Question 4: Which was the first TVR model to use a V8?

 

[Dave A]

Hey, we don't need questions we can just reel off all the answers without them .

 

[TVRKing]

Erm...let's just say 2-2, mmkay?

Question 4: Which was the first TVR model to use a V8?

I'm guessing the Tasmin, but I'm not sure about that one.

 

[Dave A]

I believe the first V8 TVR was trhe original Griffith in 1963.

 

[Danny]

Aye, Griffith it is.

There's on not to far from me

Question 5: Make a TVR based haiku

 

[Dave A]

Ooooooh, I'm not a poetic type of guy. The only Poem I like is the one about "that **** Shute" from one of the world wars .

Trevor Wilkinson had a dream
To make a sportscar fast and light
And kick Ferrari's proverbial arse's

 

[TVRKing]

Aye, Griffith it is.

There's on not to far from me

Question 5: Make a TVR based haiku

I don't even know what a Haiku is.

 

[Dave A]

Neither did I so I looked on Dictionary.com and it's a poem with 5,7 then 5 word lines that don't rhym with each other.

Question 6: Insult someone or something using at least 2 TVR model names discretely!

 

[Dave A]

Forget running your so fat you can't even walk 300M without getting out of breath.
You've got a face like a Sagaris made by Picaso.

 

[TVRKing]

Wouldn't face like a Chimera be better?

 

[Dave A]

Anyone have any guesses what new the model TVR will show next year might be called?

 

[Dave A]

Smolenski has purchased Italian bike maker Benelli, wether he plans to build bikes in the Future with a TVR badge or to keep the Benelli brand for bikes is unclear, however the bikes will continue being produced as Benelli's in Italy for now.

[Dave A]
