I thought it was a good turnout(considering the weather!) but then again it was my first visit so who am I to say??? Who ever owns the Typhon........I am dead jealous!!  :  Oh..There was a guy there who used to work at the Blackpool Factory who has managed to get hold of the Build Sheets for most of our cars!!......If you are the person who owns the white Chim that I was speaking too ...please give me a shout as I would like to know more about my Chim!! :beer Hi Patrick Really nice to talk to you today and thanks for coming. Try RetroWheels on here as he had the white Chim and is a mind of any TVR info. He was the one with shorts on, but believe me, those were his sensible ones   I will check the records, im an arch anoroak rather than ex factory - that was Malcolm (potatoe muncher) who we were also talking to.

Had a marvellous day - thanks Kev and team . Caught up with friends I don't see as often as I'd like to. Met some wonderful new people. Got very cold and very wet. Laughed a lot! Had a scrummy pasty. And some delicious hot chocolate. Had a puncture. But was saved by some knights in shining armour  . Quite a day!

Well done Kev and the team, that was definitely above and beyond the call of duty - glad the TVR fraternity did their bit to make it worth the effort, 200 cars?? My journey home from Chatsworth was 6 miles and that was no fun, so hats off to all those who travelled long distances, also it was good to see friends at the Manor again

Nice time at Chatsworth today, although the sun was a little weak, and the rain a little to strong.
It was however very nice returning to TVR ownership and meeting up with some some lovely new people today, top guys, thank you.
Just a little disappointed that someone chose to take my Moet & Chandon Umbrella from under my car though !!, it was a present from a very dear friend, I'm quite upset I have to say.

We left at about 2-ish because numbers were severely depleted by then. Got home at just after 9 - 240 miles each way, plus stops for changing into dry clothes / coffee / fuel / dinner. It stopped raining just as we were about 10 miles from home.
It was great to meet new people and old friends. It was a shame about the weather but it was well worth the trip - well done Kevin for your persistence in the face of adversity!

I think it was you Angus I was trying to find to say you had left your lights on, if so your right with the kid in a candy shop bit, it was so nice to see people with smiles on their faces despite the weather. There seemed so many from Scotland too, was this because of the forecast (as I know you like your rain up there), what ever it was, it was great to see you all there, and thank you for organising the evening which adds to the event and thank you very much for coming.

What an amazing day at Chatsworth yesterday, it pi55ed it down all day and we still had 200 cars there. We all got soaked but everyone was laughing and joking as if the sun was shining. What a superb bunch of people tvr owners are. Thanks to Kev for organising it again and Alison and the team for the tvr tent, also Sharon for the support and not forgetting the East Mids Region for organising the run out on the Saturday, and all the boys and girls from SY for parking all the cars up. A big thank you to Ginetta for providing the Le Mans TVR and also the G60 and Vicky Parrott for bringing the G40 from Autocar. But the biggest thank you must go to you crazy lot who came despite the weather. Trev and Shirl

Great to see so many cars turn up despite the weather. I got home around 5pm in Norfolk. The A1 was a absolute nightmare as the demister was, err, playing catch up all day! Stopped raining around Peterborough i think. Car was faultless.
Well done to all who helped organise and thumbs up to everyone who bothered to turn out.
