TVR 2500M

The TVR 2500M was the brand's primary offering for the United States market from 1972 to 1977. It used the 2.5-liter inline-6 and 4-speed gearbox from the Triumph TR6, a move made to meet strict US emissions regulations of the era. Built on TVR's new M-Series backbone chassis and wrapped in a distinctive fiberglass body, the 2500M offered a raw, lightweight sports car experience.

Collectors appreciate the 2500M for its rarity and its connection to the more common TR6, which makes sourcing mechanical parts relatively easy. The fiberglass body means rust isn't an issue for the panels, but the steel tube chassis is famously susceptible to corrosion. It's a car that rewards hands-on owners who value a pure, unfiltered driving connection over outright speed or modern comforts.

The market for the 2500M is small, with only 15 sales tracked in recent years at an average price of $24,847. Values are heavily dependent on the condition of the chassis. Well-sorted cars with documented, rust-free frames command top dollar, while examples needing chassis work trade at a significant discount.

Prices range from $16,100 for projects to $48,000 for the best examples.
