TVR 390 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1984–1989) — First Generation
The first-generation TVR 390 is a British sports Roadster from this model’s opening chapter. You get an open-top body aimed at enthusiastic driving rather than everyday comfort.
The TVR 390 engine in this generation is a 4.0-litre petrol unit, paired in the Roadster example with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. You row the gears yourself, and the drivetrain puts power through the rear axle. That 4.0 MT setup is a selected example, not the full lineup.
