TVR

TVR is an independent British manufacturer of high-end sports cars. The company manufactures lightweight sports cars with powerful engines and was, at one time, the third-largest specialised sports car manufacturer in the world, offering a diverse range of coupés and convertibles.

The company is planning to bring a range of new cars to market from 2017 with partners Gordon Murray and Cosworth.

History

The history of TVR can be divided into several eras, each of which is associated with the company's owner at the start of that period:

Wilkinson era

Founding

Trevor Wilkinson (14 May 1923–6 June 2008) was born in Blackpool and left school at 14 to start an engineering apprenticeship at a local garage.

In 1946, he purchased an old wheelwright's workshop in Beverely Grove, Blackpool, to start an engineering business that he named Trevcar Motors. Initially, the company performed general engineering work (not always automobile related), and would also refresh and service cars and trucks. In 1947, local auto enthusiast Jack Pickard joined the company. Trevcar Motors was subsequently renamed to TVR Engineering (dropping several letters from Wilkinson's first name), and it continued to find general mechanical engineering work through the following years.

TVR HD

TVR HD is a high-definition version of the Romanian public broadcasting channel TVR. The channel broadcast Euro 2008 and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in high definition. The channel also broadcasts Formula 1 and one Champions League ( broadcasting rights held from 2009-10 season to the end of the 2011-12 season ) game on Tuesday and Wednesday in HD. A special conditional card and a compatible MPEG4/H.264 set top box is required to watch the signal by satellite as the channel is encrypted. Terrestrial broadcast is free-to-air, but not widely available in Romania.
