TVR Garage Reignites the Flame of Classic British Sports Cars in America
Rediscovering TVR’s 90s Classics in the USA
TVR Garage has taken up the mantle of reintroducing the beloved 1990s classic British sports cars to American aficionados. Leveraging the 25-year exemption criteria of the EPA and NHTSA, the company specializes in importing top-notch TVR models, whether preserved in their original state or meticulously restored. Tailoring each car to the unique preferences of its discerning clientele, TVR Garage ensures an unparalleled ownership experience.
In Partnership with Str8six
Partnering with esteemed UK-based TVR expert, Str8six, TVR Garage taps into over 20 years of specialized knowledge encompassing custom engine craftsmanship, vehicle servicing, race preparation, and spare parts procurement. With operations based in Tucson, Arizona, and approved service centers across Arizona, California, and Florida, TVR Garage provides comprehensive support, promising a hassle-free experience for its customers.
The company marked its grand debut at the prestigious Monterey Car Week in 2023, held in Carmel Valley. On display were two stunning 1997 TVR Cerberas in Rosso Pearl and Amethyst, catching the eye of car enthusiasts from around the globe.
The Allure of the TVR Cerbera
At the heart of the TVR Cerbera lies the TVR-engineered AJP8 motor, a V8 powerhouse crafted by Alwyn Melling. Available in two versions—a 4,185cc engine delivering 360 horsepower and a 4,475cc engine generating a robust 420 horsepower—the Cerbera offers a raw, unfiltered driving experience.
Such efforts have even garnered attention from automotive legend Jay Leno. In a featured episode on "Jay Leno’s Garage" on YouTube, Leno delved into the nuances of the TVR Cerbera, eventually taking it for an enthralling drive through Burbank.
Bright Future with a Rich Lineup
Looking ahead, TVR Garage has an exciting pipeline of offerings for the next decade. With models such as the TVR Tuscan, Tamora, T350, and Sagaris soon to become eligible for import, enthusiasts can look forward to a continuous flow of classic TVR machines.
Founders’ Vision: Gavin Bristow and Andi Hughes
The brainchild of Gavin Bristow and Andi Hughes, TVR Garage began as a personal venture to import TVR cars and has since evolved into a thriving business. The founders have remained steadfast in their mission to provide an authentic, analog driving experience in a world that is increasingly dominated by electric vehicles (EVs).
Their dedication to the TVR community is further evidenced by the company’s online store, offering everything from service kits to spare parts and branded merchandise. This ensures that TVR owners in the USA and Canada have access to essential resources, enhancing their ownership journey.
