TVR is back in the game: British sports cars are making a comeback in America
Back to the future—legendary TVR opens its first U.S. showroom.
After nearly four decades away, the iconic British marque TVR is returning to the American market. The brand’s new showroom in Las Vegas marks its first official presence in the U.S. since the 1980s. The space will showcase fully restored examples of TVR’s most beloved models from the 1990s and 2000s, including the Cerbera and Tuscan.
The project is being led by TVR Garage, a venture founded by former executives from BMW, McLaren, and Fisker—Andy Hughes and Gavin Bristow. The operation takes advantage of a clever legal loophole: cars imported at 25 years or older are exempt from the strict emissions and certification standards that typically block newer models. Before shipping, each vehicle undergoes a full restoration by Str8six, TVR’s long-time specialist partner in the UK.
Although TVR’s newest model—the Griffith, developed by famed designer Gordon Murray—has yet to reach production, the brand’s return has already stirred excitement among collectors and British car enthusiasts alike.
Choosing Las Vegas as the first outpost is no accident. The city’s concentration of affluent buyers and rare-car aficionados makes it an ideal launchpad for TVR’s American revival. More than a nostalgic comeback, the move gives a second life to machines that have always embodied the raw, analog thrill of driving—before the digital era took over.
