Fabled One Of A Kind TVR 440 R Goes To Auction
THIS 215MPH SUPERCAR ALONG WITH TVR #1 FOR AUCTION AT ICONIC AUCTIONEERS SUPERCAR FEST SALE ON MAY 18 AT SYWELL AERODROME, NORTHANTS2002 TVR T440R.
Estimate: ￡190,000 - ￡230,000
Recently featured in Classic and Sports Car and a Drive Tribe video, this a one of a kind TVR that one wishes had made it to the Le Mans 24 Hour test.
But it is in fact a homologation road car that will give you chills. It certainly did that for Jeremy Clarkson when he drove it on Top Gear. With just 440HP it outperforms a number of other supercars including a Ferrari thanks to its light weight and carbon fibre body.
If you are familiar with TVR’s back catalogue, you will understand the significance of this car; just like with the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 sold by Iconic Auctioneers (formerly Silverstone Auctions) at last year’s Supercar Fest Sale, for ￡601,500, we are thrilled to offer this incredible opportunity to own another genuine piece of TVR history.
The T440R was created so that TVR could challenge at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with the intention of securing the marque homologation and FIA Approval to enter GT1 Class Endurance Racing. Initially named the ‘Tuscan R’ (R standing for Racing), the project began during the late 1990s with the hope that TVR would return to the Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time in more than 40 years. With an entirely new approach required to maintain speeds in excess of 200 mph on the Mulsanne Straight, the T440R was constructed completely by hand with a specialist in-house factory team. Designed with the help of cutting-edge CAD/CAM Technology, the complex and cutting-edge advanced structure was both hugely advanced and expensive to develop, and was like no other TVR built before it, or since.
