TVR Postcards
The cards below are issued by TVR Cars in Blackpool, U.K. These cards are showing a picture of the car on the front side and have brief specifications of the same model on the reverse side. The cards are not intended for mailing as a postcard, but they were issued partially to replace the more expensive sales literature. In some cases the numbering is not correct as card numbers have been used twice for completely different cards and some numbers (particularly # 12!) have not been used at all. Some cards out of this series are shown below as typical examples.

This makes a total of no less than 155 different orginal TVR cards excluding the dealer issues below and the cards that probably have not been issued (those numbers are indicated as publication doubtful).

These were the first six:
2003 TVR Tamora - blue
2003 TVR Typhon - silver
2003 TVR Tuscan/Tuscan S - orange/red
2003 TVR T350C - bluegreen

Later followed by two more:
2004 TVR Sagaris - gray - front view
2004 TVR Sagaris - gray - rear view.
Note: print numbers are not used any more, but the specifications are still printed on the rear side as usual.At the end of 2005 another set of 5 postcards was issued by the factory. These are 8 x 3.75 inches in size and also have the specifications and prices of the car on the reverse. But again no print numbers!
