Where can I find a list of torque convertor automatic cars?
Is there a website with a list of every torque convertor car available in UK?
I am looking for a small/medium SUV sized car - with a TC box available via Motability - but Motability cannot provide such a list.
The operative that I spoke to knew no difference between CVT and TC - Trying to convince me that they were the same - they are not.

We're not aware of a resource that lists cars with torque converter automatics, but you can use the Honest John Car Chooser www.honestjohn.co.uk/chooser/ to create a list of automatic SUVs that fit your criteria.
All automatic versions of the BMW X2 use a ZF eight-speed torque converter gearbox - apart from the sDrive18i - and it appears to be on the Motability list, but assuming a DCT transmission is also out of the question, unfortunately your choice is quite limited. Torque converter automatics have fallen out of favour with many mainstream manufacturers as CVTs and DCTs are more efficient, so they tend to be the preserve of premium luxury cars.
