TVR's cars have long been popular with sports car enthusiasts who value an exciting drive and value for money.
Yet at the same time, it is fair to say that the firm has in recent years been hit by reliability issues.

Production at the company's Blackpool plant is said to have fallen from 12 cars a week to two.

the Sagaris, Tuscan, Tuscan Convertible, T350 and Tamora.

volospian said:That's one of the problems, if you ask me. There's not really a lot of difference between those cars. Some the roof comes off, but apart from that TVR manufacture a whole range of same sized 2 seater sports cars. They should concentrate on maybe 2 or 3 of those models and get those right.
Then if they simply must have more models, perhaps consider something in the 4/5 seater market.
You don't see Lotus bringing out several small, 2 seater mid engines sports cars, what's the point, they already have the Elise and the Exige and that about covers the whole range.
I think TVR should drop the Tamora and probably the Tuscan and sell just the T350, Tuscan Convertible and Sagaris (but push the power up to say 400hp, to make it really "different" to the T350). Otherwise they are somewhat competing against themselves.

It is there only downfall imoeidolon said:I really, really wish TVR would sort out their reliability issues.
For me, they'd be perfect if it wasn't for the fact that they conk out all the time. I love the looks, the power, the noise, the interior but just don't think I could live with the fear of expensive failures.
