TVR owes its beginnings to one Trevor Wilkinson, who, in 1947 in his home town of Blackpool, set up a small motor business, Trevcar Motors, and built and sold on a succession of his specials on a word of mouth basis. By 1954, his TVR (so named after initials taken from his Christian name Trevor) Engineering started marketing kit cars employing GRP bodies. Financial stability did not occur for the North West's car firm until the Lilley family acquired the business in 1965. TVR manufactured the Tuscan between 1999 and 2006, It is widely considered to be one of the company's best driving models. Five different engine options were offered to customers. Four of these were variants of the 4.0 Speed Six making different amounts of power and torque, depending on the trim level selected. A Borg Warner T5 manual gearbox was employed.
