The iconic British marque TVR is back on U.S. soil. TVR Garage has officially opened its first showroom in Las Vegas, Nevada, marking the brand’s long-awaited return to America after more than four decades. Situated just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, the new space blends performance heritage with the modern luxury of TheCarWiz dealership.
TVR Garage Expands Across the Atlantic
Launched during Monterey Car Week 2023, TVR Garage has quickly evolved into a dynamic sports car business dedicated to preserving and promoting the spirit of TVR. The new partnership with TheCarWiz provides a 15,000-square-foot showroom filled with classic and modern performance cars, from Ferrari and Lamborghini to McLaren and Porsche, alongside a growing collection of Blackpool-built TVRs.
According to co-founder Gavin Bristow, the move is a strategic step in reintroducing the brand to the U.S. “Our mission is to ignite a lasting passion for TVR in the U.S. by importing only the finest examples and building a strong enthusiast community,” he said. “The partnership with CarWiz is a key step in that journey.”
From Blackpool to the Bright Lights
TVR’s story began in Blackpool, England, a town known for its entertainment and engineering spirit. The founders of TVR Garage drew inspiration from this heritage when choosing Las Vegas as their American base. “Blackpool doesn’t shout, it roars,” said Bristow. “Las Vegas mirrors that same boldness and energy. It’s the perfect stage for our next chapter.”
Co-founder Andi Hughes added, “Having a showroom just 10 minutes from the Strip gives us incredible visibility. It allows us to serve the local car community while welcoming the 40 million visitors who come to Las Vegas each year.”
Showroom Highlights and Featured Models
The new showroom will display a range of restored and U.S.-eligible TVR models, with the standout being the Tuscan (Speed6). Multiple examples have already been delivered to American clients, with several more undergoing restoration in collaboration with UK specialist Str8six.
Visitors will find a fully restored TVR Tuscan S demonstrator available for test drives through the scenic Red Rock Canyon State Park, offering a hands-on taste of the brand’s raw power and driver-focused dynamics.
Power and Performance
The TVR Tuscan S is powered by the brand’s signature 4.0-liter Speed6 engine, producing 390 bhp and 310 lb-ft of torque. This lightweight 2,435-pound coupe sprints from 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds and exceeds 180 mph. Its performance remains a testament to the brand’s commitment to engineering purity, unfiltered, analog, and exhilarating.
Reviving a British Legend
TVR Garage is not just about selling cars, it’s about preserving a legacy. With TheCarWiz partnership and Str8six’s expertise in restoration, the company aims to build a long-term foundation for TVR’s revival in the United States. Each imported model undergoes meticulous inspection and restoration to meet the brand’s exacting standards.
For enthusiasts and collectors, the Las Vegas showroom represents a rare opportunity to experience TVR’s distinctive blend of performance, craftsmanship, and rebellious character, right in the heart of the desert.
Summary
The opening of TVR Garage’s Las Vegas showroom signals a new era for the iconic British sports car brand. By combining heritage with innovation, and Blackpool grit with Nevada glamour, TVR is once again ready to roar, this time, under the lights of Las Vegas.
