TVR by John Tipler

TVR today is a highly respected manufacturer of exclusive, stylish sports cars, which are among the fastest on the road. So successful has the TVR become that it now has its own TVR Tuscan challenge series. John Tipler charts the company's history, from Trevor Wilkinson's initial optimism, the near disastrous move to a wedge shape, and builds up to the present day under Peter Wheeler. He covers the development of the cars and profiles the leading characters, Martin Lilley and Peter Wheeler. Finally he looks in detail at the factory, the staff, the unorthodox design process, the creation of the chasis and bodies, and the immaculate care that goes into the manufacture of each care, including full technical specifications for all TVR models.

John Tipler is a freelance motoring writer and historian who has published multiple books on the subject and has contributed to numerous motoring periodicals. He's worked at the John Player Motorsport News Office and the Motor Industry Research Center, among other places in the business. His passion spans a wide range of types and models, but he is always drawn to sports vehicles, classics, and motorcycles. He currently resides in Norfolk, UK.
