However, the front suspension design was changed to use wishbone control arms and a single transverse leaf spring. The bodywork was again constructed by Les Dale, and it was similar in appearance to the first car. An auto enthusiast local to Blackpool purchased the car for use in competition, although it was eventually registered for road use in 1952. Around this time, the car was refreshed: it received a new body style with a lower nose, and some different instrumentation and equipment (including a tachometer from a <a href="/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire" title="Supermarine Spitfire">Supermarine Spitfire</a> and Marchal headlamps from a <a href="/wiki/Delage" title="Delage">Delage</a>.)<sup id="cite_ref-filby-earlyyears_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-filby-earlyyears-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the sale of the Number Two car, TVR began work on Number Three, which again used the same chassis and suspension design. Instead of the sidevalve Ford engine, it was fitted with the 1,200 cc 40 hp <a href="/wiki/Overhead_valve" class="mw-redirect" title="Overhead valve">OHV</a> four-cylinder engine from an Austin A40. This car was painted yellow, and in contrast to the rounded bodywork of the first and second cars, it was styled with a blunt nose and a squarish vertical panel as the grille. Driven by Wilkinson in a number of car club events (such as sprints and <a href="/wiki/Hillclimbing" title="Hillclimbing">hillclimbs</a>) in 1952 and 1953, the car was quick enough to earn several awards. It was during these club events that one David Hives was introduced to the TVR management, and he would become a key TVR employee a decade later.<sup id="cite_ref-filby-earlyyears_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-filby-earlyyears-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hives helped set up the production line at Griffith Motors in <a href="/wiki/Syosset,_New_York" title="Syosset, New York">Syosset</a>, New York. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Sports_(1953–1955)"><span id="Sports_.281953.E2.80.931955.29"></span>Sports (1953–1955)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=TVR&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Sports (1953–1955)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the summer of 1953, Wilkinson and Pickard began working on the design of a new chassis, which was intended to accept the engine, gearbox, and other components from the Austin A40 (including the independent coil-spring front suspension and rear axle.) Significantly, it did not incorporate an upper body frame, and the engineers intended to provide the car for sale as a kit with a fiberglass body. Approximately twenty; these three cars used an <a href="/wiki/Atalanta_(1937_automobile)#RGS_Atalanta" title="Atalanta (1937 automobile)">RGS Atalanta</a> body manufactured by special builder Richard G. Shattock. With the Atalanta body included in the kit, the car was named the "TVR <b>Sports Saloon</b>". The kit was first offered for sale in 1954 for £650. It was with this car that TVR first produced a brochure to advertise a product: it quoted some figures, such as the car's 635 kg (1,400 lb) weight and 0-97 km/h (60 mph) time of 13 seconds. It was also on the Sports Saloon that the first incarnation of TVR's badge appeared, designed by a young art student and Wilkinson's friend, John Cookson.<sup id="cite_ref-filby-earlyyears_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-filby-earlyyears-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first Sports Saloon was finished in Spring 1954, and Wilkinson first campaigned it in the Morecambe Rally from 21 to 23 May. He used it in a number of other events to increase exposure to TVR's products, and would drive the car regularly in competition and on the road over the next eight years. </p><p>The chassis built by TVR were all made in accordance with customer specifications, and therefore no two of them left the factory in exactly the same configuration. The extra exposure created by using the Sports Saloon in competition led to potential customers inquiring about the availability of other body styles. TVR sold kits with <a href="/wiki/Microplas" title="Microplas">Microplas</a> Mistal bodies, and at least two different styles from Rochdale Motor Panels & Engineering Ltd. The engines fitted were typically the Ford 1,172 cc (1.2 L) sidevalve or Austin A40 1,200 cc (1.2 L) OHV engines.

This chassis used outriggers and a steel bulkhead to carry mounting points for doors. In contrast to the earlier chassis, the new design allowed for the seats to be mounted low (six inches from the ground) on either side of the backbone tunnel. The trailing arm suspension from the Volkswagen Beetle was used for both the front and rear suspension, setting the precedent of all-independent suspension for TVRs in the future.<sup id="cite_ref-robson-grantura-to-taimar_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-robson-grantura-to-taimar-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Later in that year, TVR Engineering received a letter (dated 29 August) from Ray Saidel in <a href="/wiki/Manchester,_New_Hampshire" title="Manchester, New Hampshire">Manchester, New Hampshire</a>.

With renewed optimism about the future success of TVR, Wilkinson moved operations from the Beverley Grove garage to three buildings at Fielding's Industrial Estate in Hoo Hill, <a href="/wiki/Layton,_Blackpool" title="Layton, Blackpool">Layton, Blackpool</a>.

In the following years, Mleczek (nicknamed "The Pole") would become an expert fibreglass laminator, and would ultimately direct operation in TVR's body shop.

In March 1964, David Hives went to Long Island to assist Bob Cumberford in building a pattern and plug for the Griffith 600 series, and he also helped set up the production line with George Clark. Hives helped build the "tartan car" that was displayed at the International Automobile Show in New York, which he and Dick Monnich attended.

In September 1964, a director meeting was held at TVR, and it was announced that the company would be stopping production and closing the factory at Hoo Hill.

It was also important that the replacement model could be economically produced and that it would be easier to bring into compliance with safety and emissions regulations. TVR management met with <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Winterbottom" title="Oliver Winterbottom">Oliver Winterbottom</a> in August 1977, and it was decided that he would style a new two-seat coupe. Ian Jones, formerly of Lotus Cars and then of Larkspur Design near Southampton, was to design the chassis. The prototype project initially showed slow progress while it was being worked at the Topolec facility in Norwich, so it was moved to a unit that TVR began renting at <a href="/wiki/Bamber_Bridge" title="Bamber Bridge">Bamber Bridge</a>. The prototype car began road testing in January 1979, powered by the 2.8-litre fuel injected <a href="/wiki/Ford_Cologne_V6_engine" title="Ford Cologne V6 engine">Ford Cologne V6 engine</a>. The name for the car, Tasmin, was created by blending the female name "Tamsin" with the name of the Australasian racing <a href="/wiki/Tasman_Series" title="Tasman Series">Tasman Series</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-filby-passion_17-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-filby-passion-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During the course of Tasmin development, TVR was short of funds to pay suppliers and this problem was compounded in late 1979 with the short-term loss of £100,000 worth of M Series cars that were impounded by the US federal government for non-compliance with emissions regulations. When the car's styling was finalised, it was not especially well received by TVR management (being described later by Martin Lilley and Stewart Halstead respectively as "a big disappointment" and "absolutely dreadful"<sup id="cite_ref-filby-passion_17-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-filby-passion-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>), but time and budget limitations forced the company to proceed with the design. </p><p>After the Tasmin was released in 1980, it did receive a number of positive reviews from motoring journalists who praised its chassis and handling, sales were very lackluster due to the car's controversial styling and comparatively high price (£5,000 more than the discontinued Taimar). The car's disappointing sales coincided with the <a href="/wiki/Early_1980s_recession#United_Kingdom" title="Early 1980s recession">early 1980s recession in the UK</a>, and the result was that TVR was again on the brink of financial collapse.
