TVR is a British manufacturer of lightweight, high-performance sports cars, founded in 1947 and renowned for producing hand-built machines that combine distinctive styling with engaging driving dynamics. Throughout the marque's history, early TVR models have become highly sought-after collector's cars, celebrated for their rarity, character and importance within British motoring heritage.
First registered in 1959, this striking blue TVR represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire an early example of one of Britain's most charismatic sports car marques. Presented with an extensive history portfolio and benefiting from a meticulous restoration, the car offers both visual appeal and significant provenance.
The vehicle has had eight previous keepers and is accompanied by a TVR Club Date of Build Certificate, further supporting its authenticity and historical significance. The history file also contains HMRC import submission documentation together with French registration paperwork, providing an interesting insight into the car's period ownership in France before returning to the United Kingdom.
A major restoration was undertaken during previous ownership, with the car being fully stripped down and rebuilt to a high standard. This process was extensively documented, with a comprehensive photographic record retained within the history file. Additional restoration photographs are available upon request.
Most recently, in March 2026, the car benefited from a programme of maintenance including a new battery, new spark plugs, new fuel pump, replacement brakes all round, together with an engine oil and filter change. Supporting invoices are present within the history file.
Adding to its appeal, the car was invited to participate as part of the TVR display at the prestigious Goodwood Revival and was exhibited within the Motor Show Hall, a testament to both its quality and significance amongst enthusiasts of the marque.
Combining attractive period styling, documented restoration, desirable provenance and extensive supporting paperwork, this 1959 TVR presents as a rare and highly collectable British sports car, equally suited to concours events, classic car shows or enjoyable road use.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, history and character of this exceptional early TVR.
