The TVR S series is a line of sports cars manufactured by the British company TVR between 1986 and 1994. It was announced at the 1986 British International Motor Show. The car went into production in less than 12 months, with 150 pre-manufacture orders placed at the motor show before the moulds were even made.[1]
This was Peter Wheeler's first major development since buying the company from Martin Lilley, and the turning point in TVR's fortunes. In total, TVR produced 2,604 S-series cars; 410 of these were the V8S model. The design was the return to a more traditional style, with a strong resemblance to the 1970s M series.[2]
