Top 10: Classic TVRs
There’s an all-new TVR due on sale in 2017, bringing this iconic marque back to life a decade after the last car was produced. Details are still sketchy but we know it will be V8-powered, built in the UK and – being a TVR – more than a bit exciting. Frankly, we can’t wait.
Meanwhile, we have an amazing array of classic TVRs to choose from on today’s scene, some of which can now be snapped up for surprisingly sensible money. Heck, who wouldn’t be tempted by a Chimaera at £8000 or so? Here’s the pick of our favourites from the last few decades.

TVR Chimaera (1992-2003)
The Chimaera was the best-selling TVR of its era, and is now a popular choice among modern-classic buyers – and it’s easy to see why. Not only is this a seriously quick and rewarding drive (with the same 4.0- to 5.0-litre engine options as the Griffith), it’s also the most practical TVR of recent times. It shared the same backbone chassis as the hardcore Griffith, but the Chimaera was longer and more spacious, with slightly softer suspension settings for a less back-breaking ride.
