TVR Vixen 1960s, 1970s
What is your favourite car of all time?
Released at Earls Court in 1967 and basically a Mk IV 1800S with an engine transplant, the Vixen signalled a further advance to stability by the Lilley family. The S1 Vixen outsold the 1800S, with 117 examples between October 1967 and October 1968. When the S2 Vixen was released TVR announced 75 detail improvements, the two main ones being the new longer 2295mm wheelbase giving easier entry to the cockpit and the fact that the superstructure was no longer rigidly attached to the chassis allowing easy removal for repairs. S3 Vixens were produced between 1970 and 1972, with a total of 168 cars. The S4 was an interim model with just 23 built, using S3 body-shell and M-Type chassis.
