TVR S4C (1993)


The TVR S Series was announced at the 1986 NEC motor show. Due to a massive positive response the car went into production in less than 12 months, with 250 pre-manufacture orders. This was Peter Wheeler's first major development since buying the company from Martin Lilley, and the turning point in TVR's fortunes.


Between 1986 and 1994 2,604 S Series cars were made.


The V6 S Series cars used Ford's Cologne V6 in 2.8 L (160 hp) and 2.9 L (170 hp) forms.


Vehicle models ending with "C" were used to denote vehicles which were fitted with a catalytic converter. Only the S3 and S4 were fitted with catalysts, despite many being built before the cat standard was introduced at "K" reg.
