For nearly sixty years, TVR produced some of the most thrilling, spine-tingling, hand-built sports cars to emerge from any British motor manufacturer. Yet it was the period between 1981 and 2004, under the management of Peter Wheeler, when the company finally shook off its shed-built roots and proved that it could produce cars that could match anything from Maranello or Stuttgart in terms of performance, but at a fraction of their price.Illustrated with over 300 photographs, TVR - Cars of the Peter Wheeler Era tells the story of the design, development and engineering of some of some of TVR's fastest, outrageous and most successful cars, from the retro-styled S1, to the racing Tuscan, 1000bhp Speed Twelve and the brutal Sagaris.

Seller was very honest, I got it exactly as described (little tear in the cover of the back of the book, folded up). The book is made of very high quality materials, feels great, fully intact, reads great. Amazing illustrations and the content is a must-read for any TVR fan. Pure spaff material. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This excellent book tells the inside story of the latter days of the TVR company under the charismatic leadership of Peter Wheeler

An excellent and incisive history of these still quite recent cars, shrouded in legend; the myths surrounding them are nicely covered in this quality work. It is very readable and beautifully illustrated.

c'est un livre que j'ai offert à un passionné de tvr, il a adoré, a recommander, par contre je savais que ce livre était en anglais, petite précision qui a quand même son importance, mais à priori abordable, très beau livre, complet à offrir aux amoureux de cette voiture

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive account of the TVR revolution.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
A well written book focusing on TVR between 1981 to 2004 when Peter Wheeler took over the company and had the vision to transform it from a niche player to a major force. It is well written and lavishly illustrated including as well contributions from owners as well as dealers and workers. The sheer confidence and inventiveness of these years is staggering and provide a fitting tribute to the drive and imagination of the man.

The writing is a celebration but tinged with realism as well, some strange work practices and the reasons the variable quality of the chassis finish are touched on and the urban myth about Peter's dog Ned, contributing to the styling of the Chimaera is put straight. However in the most, this book focuses on all that is was good during this extraordinary time. There are also pictures and descriptions of models that did not make proper production such as the Speed Twelve, The White Elephant (a Holdern powered wedge), and the Tasmin Turbo.

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in TVR and while it does contain any great revelations it does provide a comprehensive history of the marque during these revolutionary times.
