What is your favourite car of all time?

The Eighties saw a new and dramatic looking replacement for the M-Series, the Tasmin. Following the usual TVR design philosophy and layout, there was a space-frame chassis, with all independent coil-sprung suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. The first of the breed was a wedgy two-seater hatchback coupe, with a derivative 2+2 and convertible following within a year on the same 94inch wheelbase. TVR first used Rover V8 power in 1983 in the new 350i convertible to produce a top-of-the-range model beyond the existing Ford 2.8-engined 280i. From Sept. 1984 the 390SE represented the move to bigger engines and the ultimate 450SEAC.
