The TVR Griffith 400 Coupe occupies a distinctive place in the history of 1960s sports cars, born from the meeting of lightweight British engineering and American V8 power. At the heart of the project was TVR, at the time a small manufacturer based in Blackpool, already known for the Grantura and for its use of tubular spaceframe chassis… Read More The last one: 1966 TVR Griffith series 400
This Lancia Lambda V8 “Mille Miglia” recreation is one of those cars that immediately raises the usual question: replica, special, or the most honest way to enjoy a piece of Lancia history without being terrified of stone chips and extra kilometres? In reality, it’s a bit of all three – and that’s exactly what makes… Read More Early hot-rod: 1929 Lancia Lambda V8 “Mille Miglia Replica”
This is a rare 1966 TVR Griffith 200, one of only around 192 built. This is the car that embodied the Anglo-American formula of light British fiberglass bodywork and chassis combined with the raw power of Ford’s 289 V8. Often described as Britain’s answer to the Shelby Cobra, the Griffith 200 delivered extraordinary performance in… Read More Small car, big heart: 1966 TVR Griffith
The 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I is a blend of British design and American engineering, epitomizing the collaborative spirit of the 1960s automotive industry.

We’ve always wondered what it would be like to drive a car the size of a slipper and the weight of a sofa, powered by a 289 cubic inch (4700 cc) V8 engine. It will probably be challenging to get an answer to such a question for two fundamental reasons: the first is that we… Read More 50 years owned: 1965 TVR Griffith 200
The current market for classic BMWs significantly rewards the E9 series, which often fetches six-figure prices: it’s undoubtedly a very beautiful car, but it had a mother. The mother, built by Bertone and designed by none other than Giorgetto Giugiaro, is even better equipped under the hood, at least on paper: it’s powered by the… Read More German v8: 1962 BMW 3200 CS by Bertone
We’ve seen many classic TVRs for sale in the past, but we’ve rarely come across a Griffith – the reason being that only 59 were ever made. The seller says he has owned this car for twenty years during which time he has actually rebuilt everything of it, among other things this car was in… Read More Little bad machine: 1966 TVR Griffith series 400
Perhaps in 1950 this car already looked out of date, but it certainly wasn’t 14 years before, when it went into production. Actually we deliberately used the verb “look” because even in 1950, this car was not technically inferior to brands like Mercedes and is, still today, more aerodynamic than a Lamborghini Countach. The masterpiece… Read More Postal service: 1950 Tatra T87
We know that this car will certainly not interest a good chunk of our readers, especially Europeans, as cars of this type do not belong to their automotive culture. However, we consider ourselves very democratic: any car, produced in any continent, and of any category, arouses our interest if certain conditions are met. In the… Read More Tuck and roll: 1932 Ford Deuce Coupé
