Did you know the TVR Trident Prototype?
I discovered it some days ago.
Credit: Carandclassic.
From 1965. I quite like the interior, the body, at the exception of the back, which I find much less inspired than the rest of the car.
Best,
Nicolas
I agree
But I like what your post.
Its more chic. The kamm tail is an acquired taste . It's got potential if properly touched by Italian Artist Just my feeling 🙂

I had the top one ☝️ ...
Made the most incredible noise from the turbo. I have some good stories for another day.
I had the opportunity to get one of them. From the early series and from the latest one. But I hesitated too much.

Steering wheel on the wrong side...epic fail...
...and it looks larger than 40mm. Would not buy.
Aaa
Center console is also huge. Perhaps it is prepared to be electrified and given 18" Cinematic Display
hell yes, cinematic display as well as a touch-greased surfaces everywhere in the car :-)

Detail
The TVR have Ford Capri mk1 tail lights as far my memory reach.
The silhouette of the car looks like a very early studie of BMW Z1.
The Trident is the oldest TVR i seen now.
A short TVR story: Trevor is the founding father of TVR.
In a barn he started to work on his own car brand.
Models: Sagaris, Trident, Tuscan, Chimea.
Let’s wait what Cazalea have to say, he knows much about many cars.

Thank you Weems@8 for the history, Thank You Nico for posting
I thinker they are all amazing sportscar.
IMHO very Sexy, powerful and beautifully kinky yet aristocratic.
Tuscan is my favorite . Sagaris is a bit more brutal beauty. It would be my 2nd gorgeous .

I know a bit about TVR
Perhaps I can say they were wedge-y at first then became curvy and sexy, then curvy and brutal and then flamed out.
I had the joy of driving behind these pals in a bellowing Griffith through the south of France to Monaco.
Another friend here in San Diego had 3 of them at once, all the early wedge shaped ones. I can't recall which engines and models they were.
Certainly FUN definitely HAND-MADE and consequently TROUBLE when overseas and facing SoCalif temperatures. Same could be said of Bristols, Jensen Interceptors, Lotuses, etc.
And yes, because the engines were mostly V6 or V8 and well set back in the chassis, TVR all had enormous central console crowding the passengers.

I had one Mike ...
It was trouble from day one.
That’s another chapter in my journey with cars. :-(

I can say the same "Trouble from Day One" about my Triumph Herald, my Saab Sonnet, my Corvair(s) ...
Sorry for the bad image of a bad car with thrown fanbelt (again)
