Book Description

November 15, 2007
From the earliest specials built in the early 1950s by founder Trevor Wilkinson to the latest muscular supercars, TVRs have always stood out from the crowd.

TVR: All the Cars provides a model-by-model appreciation of each generation of the Blackpool marque's products, all of which have been test-driven by the author, who is delighted to confirm that a modern Sagaris shares significant DNA with a straight-six Vixen of 1972, although the Sagaris is somewhat nippier.

The chronological coverage of each car, usefully peppered with inside information, is complemented by a look at TVR’s racing endeavours and an insight into the world of prototypes, pondering the ‘might-have-beens’.

For would-be TVR owners there is an in-depth look at the practicalities of buying and running a TVR to suit any budget, and an appendix provides historical and practical information about the engines used by TVR over the years. Essential reading for all TVR fans and sport car enthusiasts.

In this smartly designed book, by an obsessive TVR enthusiast, each model is described and illustrated, with details of development, evolution and specifications--and along the way the sometimes subtle differences between variants are untangled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Intro to the World's Best Super Cars, January 28, 2008
This review is from: TVR: All the Cars: A model-by-model history of TVR (Hardcover)
A great piece to read that is very informative, yet entertaining as well. The author does a great job of covering the entire history of TVR Cars right up till the Spring of 2007. Iain Ayre should be commended for not just writing a bland tech spec book, or another collection of road tests; but for writing a technically interesting piece that puts things in laymans terms for those who are truly being introduced to the marque for the first time. Mr. Ayre reflects some of his personnal views in a "at the pub" sort of way that really relaxes the reading and draws the reader into the cars even more.
I fell in love with TVRs 15 years ago while in my late teens, and own several books on the legendary cars. I rate this book the best overall for it's extreme ease of reading and an excellent format. I would say it is an ABSOLUTE MUST READ for all TVR enthusiasts as well as any individual just getting into these fine British sports cars.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice book for the coffee table, June 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: TVR: All the Cars: A model-by-model history of TVR (Hardcover)
Great pictures, writing is so-so. Entire paragraphs are cut and paste in various sections of the book. Good for the coffee table, but there are more informative publications on TVR. I leave it in the back of my TVR so curious individuals who are trying to determine if the car is a Triumph or a kit get a view of TVR's modern work.
