Wheeler Dealers - TVR S2 at DiscoveryChannel.co.uk

TVR S2

The TVR S2 is a great British sports car. It is brutally fast and the handling is ‘entertaining’ but it does have an Achilles heel - Reliability.

Mike will be looking for a car which has already had money spent but which has a long list of niggly problems which will put the average punter off.

A TVR with problems is a cheap TVR. If Edd can sort the gremlins and get this car 100% fit then they’re in the money.

TVR S2 FACTS

  • The TVR S Series was unveiled in 1986 as a retro-styled, low-price model. The car received rave reviews and went into production in less than 12 months, gaining 250 pre-manufacture orders
  • Sheffield-born chemical engineer Peter Wheeler owned the Blackpool-based TVR sports car company for 23 years. After owning a TVR, he ended up buying the company in 1981
  • The TVR S was Peter Wheeler’s first major development after buying the company. Despite his background in chemistry, Wheeler was also instrumental in the body design of TVR cars, managing a team that produced a number of acclaimed vehicle designs
  • Between 1986 and 1994, 2,604 S Series cars were made, including 410 V8S vehicles
  • The standard V8S specification includes ½ hide leather interior, walnut trim, OZ alloy wheels, driving lamps, electric windows and door mirrors. The V8S TVR S can do 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds and 0-100 mph in 12.9 seconds. That’s faster than a Ferrari Testarossa, Lotus Esprit Turbo SE, Porsche Carrera 2 or an Aston Martin Virage
