Hi all.

I am doing a powerpoint presentation for school, and we can pick any topic. Due to my mate already doing rotaries, I decided to do TVRs as a subject. Can anybody help me with the following?

1) Media - Videos and especially audio clips
2) History of all vehicles made
3) Company owners list
4) Pictures of race vehicles
5) New Zealand specific TVR info
Where can i find them?

Cheers!
Chris

PS when i am finished i will upload it to my website for advice and praise

Pictures of Race Cars/Tranporters!
Look through the GT and TVR Tuscan news section, You should find pics of the TVR Tuscan R (Green/blue Rollcentre and a Yellow black one, I have pics of it!) The Black Speed 12 (have pics of this too) a Blue SP 12 and a White one! And various Tuscan Challenge racers! If your really desperate beg someone to take some pics at the powertour opener at brands hatch!

New Zealan Specific! Dunno! Better off searching a NZ Specific search engine!

If you want piccies of what is under the body, check out the SEAC rebuild at http://go.to/tvrbristol

You can get sound clips of this SEAC on the downloads page at www.tvrwedgepages.co.uk Also, the Road Test by AutoExpress is believed to be the same SEAC.

I wasn't differentiating between 4.0 and 4.0HC! that would just be stupid. you might also like to note that I didn't expand on M Series and Taimar! We all know there are many variants of them!!

Ok Ok, I missed a couple. But for 1.16 in the morning off the top of my head, I did my best!!

Pelo, I've dug out the pictures I have of the Tuscan R and the Cerbera Speed 12! And I have one of a Tuscan Racer, if you want them! I can stick them on a Web site and you can get them from there or on a CD!

Yep good idea! Thanks for all this guys! Where is this site? I'm still plugging away searching for media (on the net!) Cant afford to buy anything... . Still i do have three or so weeks left to finish. I'll browse the entire Tiv web ring if I have to! And specific model designations - don't worry about them. Thanks again!

OK, I'll scan them in either tomorrow or thursday and try and put them on my web server! If not, i'll beg ted to host them for a day or two until you can save them to your comp! I might be able to assist with your search tomorrow, I'll be in college which has a very nice network and a huge bandwidth onto the net! I'll search for sites and media and post the address's on here for you!!!

You asked for history of models, and you have (just about) every model from the beginning of serious production until the present date! Which should be enough to be getting on with! If you need any more help, drop us a line!

Check out www.tvrcarclub.nl and look under Models in the index. They have pictures and specs of all know flavours of TVR.

It's a very impressive website, unfortunately it's not all in English. However, if you try surfing after having had a few pints it all seems to make sense

You have a TVR legend close to you called Jamie Heasman. He's a pom working there. He owns a Chimaera and he might be able to help you with info. His email is: Jamie.Heasman@fujitsu.co.nz - tell him Nick Page in Australia gave you his contact details. He wont mind.
