TVR is a British car company featured in the Gran Turismo series. It has featured in every main Gran Turismo game to date. Founded by Trevor Wilkinson of Blackpool, England, TVR specialized in building high performance and lightweight sports cars, which defines the concept of "British Sports Cars", among other British marques like MG (Note that "British Sports Cars" are frequently associated with convertibles, while not all of TVR cars were roadsters/convertibles). It is particularly notorious for manufacturing cars with fiberglass bodywork over a steel chassis to keep the weight down.
The theme music for the TVR dealership in the NTSC-J version of GT1 is "Beat The Corner", which would be subsequently remixed in GT2 as the North City theme of Gran Turismo Mode.
