Register of FIRST-LAST TVRs

This Register is possible thanks to the fundamental contribution of: Roger Thomas, Timothy Morris.

[Post n. 400 of TVR Unofficial Blog] This Register wants to explore the most important units at the beginning and the end of the production of a TVR model: the FIRST one, the LAST one. Among them, another important stuff for "European" TVR lovers: the FIRST/LAST example of a LHD TVR.

The FIRST TVR Chimaera: have you got any info? Email at tvrblog@0-100.it

The FIRST TVR Chimaera with Left Hand Drive: Jan. 1994, silver paint, black leather, black wheels. First registration and owner unknown. Last known registration unknown. May 2010: the car is in Belgium and is for sale (advertised here). MF Cars of Belgium had this car on its stand at the Brussels Motor Show of January 1994. It originally was a metallic red car with Sand and Butterscotch full hide interior. It was MF Cars's ‘demonstrator’ for over a year and was sold to Namur after that. Afterwards the car went to Romania or Hungaria and came back in Belgium about in 2007.

The FIRST TVR Griffith: have you got any info? Email at tvrblog@0-100.it

The LAST TVR Griffith / The LAST TVR Griffith 500 SE: As says the Bible of TVR Griffith 500 SE at http://www.griffith500se.co.uk, the last TVR Griffith 500s produced were the special run of 100 TVR Griffith 500 SE models. So the Griffith SE numbered 100 (981 GRM) was the last TVR Griffith to be produced. And it's ALSO the last TVR Griffith amongst all and amongst the last 500 SEs. The registration number was 981 GRM in 2005 when the car was being sold, but the registration number was not part of the sale, and so it will not be that number currently. The car is owned by Fernhurst Motor Company (UK), official TVR Dealer.

The FIRST TVR Cerbera: have you got any info? Email at tvrblog@0-100.it

The LAST TVR Cerbera: a clarification is needed. It's necessary to distinguish between two cars.

1) the LAST OFFICIAL PRODUCTION TVR Cerbera was a TVR Cerbera Speed-6 with chassis number 5B001313. Her build Sheet was printed/amended on 21/09/2004 and she left the factory on the 14th february 2005 for Harrogate Horseless Carriages, former official TVR dealer.

She was born in 2006 and was a Pepper White car that new owner Nikolai Smolenski built for himself, then auctioned (although bids failed to meet the reserve). This car disappeared after the auction then resurfaced when TVR collapsed just before Christmas 2006. It briefly appeared on sale for over £80,000 at a London showroom before being sold for rather less from a northern TVR dealer some months later. May 2010: the car was for sale on Pistonheads (advertised HERE). January 2011: for sale at TVR Racing Green (advertised HERE).
