Description for Other Makes 1985 |
1985 TVR 280i Convertible The abbreviation TVR stems from the name of the company's owner Trevor Wilkinson, his first garage sporting the letters T, V and R. In 1946, he purchased an old wheelwright's workshop in Beverley 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. Lovingly known as the wedge design, this consignment can change personalities with the drop of the top (or a reconfiguration) as you have the full top up, a targa style top, or a full top-down convertible. With some recently new parts put on, and the Ford Cologne 2.8 Liter V6 with fuel injection by Bosch, it's showing in the East Hall in beautiful black. A somewhat rare example with only 472 produced in 1985. Exterior Interior Drivetrain Undercarriage Drive-Ability Convertible, Targa, or full on top down this car can be used year round. The iconic wedge shape popularized in the mid 1980's, gold snowflake wheels, and snappy two-tone cloth interior, a seldom seen example here in the good old USA. Classic Auto Mall is a 336,000-square foot classic and special interest automobile showroom, featuring over 600 vehicles for sale with showroom space for up to 1,000 vehicles. Also, a 400 vehicle barn find collection is on display. |
