Debut at the 1967 British Motor Show

The Vixen was first revealed at the British motor show in October 1967, generating enough new orders that TVR’s founders, the Lilleys, decided to increase production. Its launch was met with immediate popularity and a flood of pre‑orders.

Return to In‑House Bodywork

The Vixen marked TVR’s return to building its own bodywork, moving away from outsourced panels. This in‑house approach reinforced the brand’s reputation for bespoke, hand‑crafted sports cars.

The Vixen S3 Upgrade (1970)

In October 1970 TVR launched the Vixen S3, an updated version that continued the model’s evolution. The S3 was equipped with a Ford 4‑cylinder engine delivering 92 bhp, the same powerplant used in the Ford Capri.
