Midwest Members' Car Pictures

Here are some nice pictures of TVRs......owned by TVR Midwest Region members.

Chuck Linn used to have a 280i, but now has a 390 or something like it.... Beautiful car. Don't you love the rear spoiler? Oh yeat.... his vehicle is the yellow one!

One of the most beautiful TVRs ever made is the 3000S. It is truly an innovative and interesting car. It was TVR's first production roadster (and technically still TVR's only roadster -- a roadster has side curtains -- not roll-up windows like the newer TVR convertibles). Here is Joe Kidwell's pristine example. It even looks good with the top up!

Being the Webmaster for the TVR Car Club North America, I get to put a picture of my cars here.

The 280i is in an autocross at the Vermilion County Airport near Danville Illinois. Thanks to Barney Gaylord for the picture....

The 2500M is in an autocross at the Rantoul Aviation Center in Rantoul, Illinois. Both autocrosses are held by the Champaign County Sports Car Club from Champaign, IL.

Here is a nice Vixen owned by Chris Chase

Thomas Lee from Pa (but he hangs out with the midwest (Ohio) group of TVR owners has this wonderful 2500. Looks nice and it has a nice room mate!

Here are two pictures of Rich Heuring's 2500

Before a paint job

What it looks like now..... Pretty car either way!
