Initially, the company was founded by Trevor Wilkinson. He started small with an engineering business and called it Trevcar Motors. They offer engineering related jobs and sometimes services trucks and cars. After some years, its name changed to TVR Engineering and continued servicing mechanical engineering jobs.
It was only in 1949 when TVR created their first original automobile design. The TVR No. 2, after crashing one time on its first prototype was successfully test ran inside the Squires Gate aerodrome in 1949. It was initially meant only for competition but in 1952, it was registered for road use.
After selling the No. 2 model, the No. 3 model was started to be manufactured. It boasted a faster engine but the same chassis. It won several awards from car club events as well.
A year after, Wilkinson and partner Jack Pickard started designing a new chassis for a new automobile in the TVR brand. The new vehicle used an RGS Atalanta body which was designed by Richard Shattock. They called this model the TVR Sports Saloon. It was in 1954 when the first complete model was finished.

The TVR Typhon is an extraordinary and rare British sports car, blending extreme performance with raw, aggressive styling. Introduced in the early 2000s, this limited-production supercar is a true embodiment of TVR’s ethos—uncompromised power, lightweight construction, and visceral driving experience.
The Typhon’s design is striking, with an aerodynamic body sculpted from lightweight carbon fiber, sharp lines, and flared wheel arches. Its wide stance and long, low profile give it a menacing road presence. Large intakes and rear diffusers hint at its high-performance nature, while its signature circular tail lights add a touch of classic TVR flair.
Under the hood, the Typhon is powered by a 4.0-liter supercharged straight-six engine, producing upwards of 580 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. This powertrain catapults the car from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 200 mph. With no traction control or electronic aids, the Typhon demands respect from its driver, offering a pure, unfiltered connection between man and machine.
Inside, the cabin is minimalist yet purposeful, with racing-style seats, a driver-focused cockpit, and high-quality materials throughout. The lack of excessive electronics reflects TVR’s philosophy of keeping the driving experience as direct as possible.
The TVR Typhon, with its brutal power and distinct personality, remains one of the most iconic and extreme cars ever produced by the British marque, a true collector’s piece for the brave and skilled driver.
