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.
