Does anyone out there have a TVR? I have one, and would like to hear from other owners/fans. For those of you who don't know what a TVR is, (A What?) A TVR is a limited production British sports car, It has a fiber glass body, tubular steel space frame, four wheel independent suspension, and (sometimes) Tr6 engine, transmission and drive-train. Limited production means < 300/year. Charles Colbert pyuxjj!colbert

I don't have a TVR but I do at least know of them. Have you seen the latest article in AutoWeek concerning the new TVR? I will have to get my copy back so I can send you the basics of the article.... anyway it looked interesting. About the closest look I've had of a TVR was at the Watkins Glen race course in New york. The car was racing in the D production class while I was racing my Sunbeam Tiger in C production (no..... not a mixmaster -- see I have trouble with my favorite marque too!) I don't recall how well he did in the race so I'll have to get out the old result sheets for this past season and see. Keith Bauer Bell Labs Murray Hill White Tiger Racing

Many people with TVRs or friends with TVRs would like to know that there is a TVR Car Club in the USA. The address is: TVR Car Club of England. Marq J. Ruben 4450 S. Park ave. Chevy Chase MD 20815 The club newsletters contain lots of useful information, like where other TVR owners are in the area. There are also three books on TVRs. The club is a segment of the TVR Car Club Of England. This means we get the newsletter from England as well as our local (USA) newsletter. There aren't enough cars for separate clubs in various regions. Every year the USA area has a meeting (the past two in NJ), open to all Sports Cars. I will broadcast the next meeting well in advance. ( If I am still at a net site then.) Charles Colbert pyuxjj!colbert
