Case study of flow chart hand- built car (fibre glass body) / Zulkernain Zainal … [et al.]
TVR Engineering was started by Trevor Wilkinson and Jack Pickard in 1947 at Blackpool, United Kingdom. He built himself a light alloy chassis based on the Alvis Firebird. The first actual TVR with its own chassis was built in 1949 and it was powered by a ford side valve engine. Presently, there are...

From Car Magazine, UK Septeltiber 1996, in terms of acceleration 0-60 mph the TVR Cerbera is ranked at number five with a stunning 4.0 seconds while the Griffith 500 is ranked at number seven with a time of 4.1 seconds.
