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.
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:
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.
I'll never be so strong
I'll fake it
The more i got the more i lost
it hit me
I want to like L.A.
And i want L.A. to like me
But i've been digging holes for days
I'm never coming back
I'll fake it
The more i felt the more i cryed
It hit me
I want to like L.A.
And i want L.A. to like me
But i've been digging holes for days
Evil astroman will take the earth
Now you better go to sleep
