TVR have been making low-production sports cars for at least 20 years.
In the early 60's they exported the "Griffith", a toady-looking fastback
with a Ford V-8 that was faster than a Cobra in a straight line, but even
worse handling.  They currently export a very sophisticated coupe and
roadster called the Tasmin.

The pleasures involved in owning a '73 TVR will be:

	Having people ask what it is.

	Telling them.

	Going helplessly from junkyard to junkyard trying to find parts
	that will more or less fit.
