They’re weird. They’re fast and they were riotously, fundamentally British.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This much everyone knows about TVR cars. But here are four of the TVR branded motors that we love the best – a couple of which, you might not have known about – or at least met in the flesh…<\/em><\/p>\n

The Trident<\/em><\/strong> was a Ford V8 powered prototype designed in real style by Carrozzeria Fissore in Savigliano, Italy. Trevor Fiore was the man who put pen to paper for the coachbuilder. Fissore, who are also responsible for the body of the Detomaso Vallelunga and the Alpine A 310, displayed a prototype Trident coup\u00e9 at the Geneva Motor Show in 1965 – and despite what was according to the webs a positive public reaction to the car, it was not well received by TVR boss Jack Griffith, and so was never put into production. Shame. There’s a real Italianate dash to the Trident which calls to mind Maseratis and Ferraris of the era.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
