*****TVR The Early Years

By John Tuleibitz on 30th Nov -0001 of: Tvr The Early Years

Since I have Filby's first TVR book, purchased new in the late 70s for 6 1/2 pounds, I was reluctant to spend 9 times as much for an undated version that covered only half as much time.
When I finally had a chance to see the book at Goodwood this spring, I purchased it immediately. It is not just a re-hash of the earlier book. It is a completely new history with information, details on major characters, quotes and anecdotes galore, and photos I'd never seen before.
Filby's original book was excellent, and I'd never part with it despite the incredible price it now commands, but this one is many times better.
My wife will soon be ordering his newer book on the Martin Lilly years as my anniversary gift. And I am searching the ads here in the US looking for an early 2500M to replace the three I had 30 plus years ago.
If you have any interest in the pre-Wheeler TVRs, you have to but this book.
