Description

You're looking at my super rare 1988 TVR Model S (Series 1) with only 81k original miles. You will likely never see another one on the road! Only 2,600 "S" models were ever made (hand built) by the TVR factory! This was imported several years ago from England. I have a clean South Carolina title in my name, in my possession. It is powered by a Ford 2.8 liter 6 cylinder putting out 180hp. The car only weighs 2,100 pounds so it's quite peppy. The manual tranny shifts easily into all gears. As you ...

Our Take:
  • Rarity and Historical Significance: The 1988 TVR S Series 1 is a gem from the British automaker TVR, known for their hand-built, high-performance sports cars. Only 2,600 units of the "S" models were ever produced, making these cars quite rare on the market today. If you're lucky enough to spot one out on the open road, consider it akin to seeing a unicorn–especially in the United States.
  • Engineering Marvel: Under the hood, this S Series 1 boasts a Ford 2.8-liter V6 engine, producing a respectable 180 horsepower. Given the car’s lightweight design at just 2,100 pounds, that's more than enough power to keep your adrenaline pumping. The combination of manual transmission and rear-wheel drive ensures an engaging driving experience; think of it as the automotive equivalent of a British garden party with a twist of American muscle.
  • Design and Versatility: The S Series 1 features convertible roof options, allowing you to drive with the top up, or remove the Targa sections for a semi-open-air feel–or go full convertible. That flexibility adds a dash of carefree British charm; in a world full of rigid coupés and predictable sedans, a little open-air joy can be quite refreshing.
  • Imported Exotic: Originally hailing from England and now with a clean South Carolina title, this TVR is a right-hand-drive vehicle. While it might seem daunting at first, enthusiasts often find driving on the 'wrong side' adds a unique thrill. It’s not just a drive; it's an experience, and a quick way to become the talk of your local Cars & Coffee meet.
