What is the TVR Car Club?
The TVR Car Club is the only Club in the world that caters for all TVR enthusiasts. It currently has around 7000 members in 34 countries in all five continents. Members own cars ranging from the oldest TVR still in existence, 'TVR No 2', right up to the very latest models such as the Tuscan 2, T350, Sagaris and even the Typhon.

What benefits are there to me if I join?
The TVR Car Club offers a range of services to its members.

1. Everyone receives Sprint, the monthly full colour A4 magazine packed full of TVR related articles, photographs, motorsport reports, specialist companies and the largest single monthly listing of TVRs For Sale anywhere in the UK. It is not available to non-members.  It was voted Best Car Club Magazine for the second time by Classic and Sports Car Magazine in November 2004 and was the first publication of any kind to secure an interview with the then new owner of TVR, Nikolai Smolenski.

2. The Club Office. Based in Newport, Shropshire, the TVR Car Club Office is available to answer your queries 9am-5pm Mon-Fri on 01952 822126 or by using the online club office enquiry form. The Office, run by Alison Brown, has a wealth of TVR experience and can usually provide instant answers to your queries.

3. Insurance. The TVR Car Club has negotiated special rates with Adrian Flux for Club members which, for many, will offer the very best cover available. For some individuals, however, we and Adrian Flux both recognise that a combination of circumstances will combine which will result in other companies being able to offer cheaper cover.  Nonetheless, even in these cases, it is frequently a requirement of the insurance that you are a member of the recognised club for the marque in order to benefit from these lower rates.

4. Track days. Although you can attend track days with other Clubs/Companies, we believe that we offer the best combination of value for money together with safety, TVR experienced instructors, lots of track time and a TVR only environment that other providers cannot offer. In 2006/7 we held track days at Snetterton, Cadwell Park, Castle Combe Rockingham and Oulton Park on the mainland plus a series of track days at Kirkistown in Northern Ireland.  Additionally, in conjunction with the TVR Car Club Holland, we again participated in a highly successful event at Zolder.  In 2008, in addition to this calendar, we are planning to significantly expand on this track day programme.  A full list will appear in Sprint and on the website as soon as it is confirmed.

5. Motorsport. The TVR Car Club has run its own race series since 2000 and which developed in 2004 into the TVR Car Club Challenge Cup which is open to all TVRs. In 2006, this combined with the former factory run TVR Tuscan Challenge ainto the only “TVR only” race series in the world. After two very successful seasons, in 2008 this will return to full championship status with the BRSCC and will be the headline races in a brand new Best of British series.

We support drivers in various Sprinting championships around the country and can offer support when requested to competitors in other forms of motorsport where they promote TVR. In 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Club has helped to sponsor the TVR entry into the Le Mans 24 hour race including the historic first ever finish of that race in 2004 by both Synergy Chamberlain Motorsport T400Rs (more info) They are represented at UK rounds of the British GT and occasionally European rounds of the FIA GT and provide support to those racing the TVR Tuscan Challenge cars.  Every year, between 1500 and 2000 Club members make the annual pilgrimage to Le Mans and the Club’s allocation of tickets for this prestigious event are normally fully sold out within 24 hours of going on sale. The Club also provides support when requested to older TVRs racing in the historic series; in 2004 and 2006 they supported the TVR Grantura entered into Classic Le Mans and assisted one member with his costs to enable him to compete in an endurance race in the USA in a 2500M.

6. Other events. The TVR Car Club organises a number of non-track related events throughout the year to bring enthusiasts together. This usually includes a gathering in Blackpool, despite the closure of the Bristol Avenue works in 2006 plus a national gathering elsewhere, usually in the summer, where the aim is to gather as many TVRs together at once. Previous venues include Brands Hatch,Duxford, Nottingham, South Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man. In 2004 the Club hired the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for a spectacular event involving over 500 members and a memorable “rumble” through the city on Sunday morning to wake up the inhabitants.  In 2007, around 1700 members and 1000 TVRs descended on Rockingham Motor Speedway for Diamond Rock, the biggest gathering of TVRs ever to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the birth of the company.

7. Regional Events. The Club has over 40 individual regional monthly meetings spread around UK ranging from the Highlands of Scotland to the Channel Islands.  These allow members to talk to other owners about their experiences with their cars and frequently gain valuable local advice about specialist services.  If advice is not available locally, the Club has access to host of other specialists who will be able to answer your query. 

8. Website Members’ Area. (see buttons on the left) Although a large part of this site is open to the general public, there are some additional areas which are restricted to members only and are accessible only to those members who are showing as current in the Club database.  This area includes access to the Club Archives, Helplines, nationwide future events calendar and an increasingly busy discussion forum with over 4000 registered participants and over 5M hits per month.  For a more details description of what is available in the Members Area, incluiding a full list of benefits and sample pages, click here.
