In recent power trials with our lightweight drive train mule that exercises both engine and transmission, the performance has been exhilarating to say the least,.
So, they stuck a yank V8 in an old TVR, er, lots of people have done that themselves in their shed, and yes, the performance is indeed exhilarating, but it's doesn't mean you've really achieved anything new and meaningful? So what have they been doing?

Well I sent a friendly mail to TVR this morning and received the following within a hour:

"Thank you for your email regarding progress with the new car. There will be another update very soon (before month end) which will go out directly to all depositors before being distributed elsewhere. In recent power trials with our lightweight drive train mule that exercises both engine and transmission, the performance has been exhilarating to say the least, so we are sure your flame will burn ever brighter once the new car is complete. Please accept our apologies for the delay in releasing this next update and we thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support."

Just goes to show they are happy to communicate, we just need to ask. Keep the faith gentlemen.
I asked last week, and they just said very shortly.. so an update by the end of the month is good news.

Hoping there might be a snippet to chew on over for the Christmas period....

There was talk of an update at the end of the year, with information about a design clinic in early 2017 for deposit holders. As yet, still no news.

3 months ago when I posted tumbleweed we coincidentally got an update from LE a few days later. Perhaps history will repeat itself...

Has there been an actual headcount of how many people on here have placed deposits, as surely this site would have the main concentration of such people anywhere in the world.

I have a feeling the gulf between claimed depositers made by TVR and the actual number is huge!

As Les has quoted an audience of 500 at the customer clinic, I assume that means 250 depositors and guests?

You're right the Italians make wonderful sports cars, fingers crossed that TVR DNA shines through.
