Our Take:

Rarity and Production: The 1985 TVR 280i Tasmin is quite the rare beast on American soil. With only about 400 to 500 units making it to the States during its production run, it's not something you bump into at the local car meet. TVR's departure from the U.S. market in 1987 further adds to its exclusivity, making every surviving model a piece of automotive history.
Design and Engineering: Crafted in Blackpool, England, the 280i Tasmin boasts a unique wedge-shaped body—a hallmark of TVR's daring design philosophy in the 1980s. This particular model features the targa top, offering a convertible experience without fully committing to an open-air ride. It’s a bit like having your cake and eating it too, isn’t it?
Distinctive Features: Equipped with creature comforts such as power windows and locks, the car also flaunts a luxurious red leather interior paired with wood veneer and a sporty wooden steering wheel. It’s like stepping into a time capsule of 80s British extravagance, complete with an Alpine AM/FM CD player, which was quite the technological marvel back in the day.
Condition and Provenance: This particular 280i has retained its charm with a mere 53K verified miles—pretty low for a car approaching its fourth decade. As a one-owner vehicle with a clean Carfax and a history of awards from the TVR Car Club, it clearly hasn’t just been sitting under a tarp in a garage. It’s been loved and pampered, ready to offer its next owner both thrill and pride. Plus, who doesn’t love a car with full documentation and stacks of articles? It’s like having your own little automotive archive!
