TVR 280 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1980–1986) — First Generation
The first-generation TVR 280 offers the enclosed feel of a Coupe or the open-air appeal of a Roadster. Your choice of transmission also helps shape the driving experience.
The TVR 280 powertrain choices include gasoline engines paired with rear-wheel drive. Selected examples are the Coupe’s automatic 2.8 AT and manual 2.8 MT, plus the Roadster’s automatic 2.8 AT. An automatic saves you shifting effort in traffic, while a manual gives you direct control over gear selection.
