TVR Taimar Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1976–1979) — First Generation
The TVR Taimar is a compact British sports coupe from a small independent maker, built around a light body, a front-mounted engine and a driver-focused cabin that rewards attention on winding roads.
Every TVR Taimar engine in this generation is a gasoline unit sitting ahead of the driver, sending its effort rearward through a manual transmission. That classic drivetrain layout, paired with modest weight, means the car feels lively without needing enormous power, and it responds directly to the throttle.
