News from Silverstone TVR
Discussion
[quote=PetrolTed]I received this statement just now:
[quote=Steve Preest]
The directors of Silverstone Performance Vehicles Limited, the company trading as Silverstone TVR have prepared the following statement in light of recent developments pertaining to their Company and the TVR operation at Silverstone generally.
It is now widely known that the Silverstone TVR business closed down at the beginning of June 2005 and subsequently went into liquidation. At the point of closing down, TVR Engineering Ltd agreed with the directors to step in and resurrect the dealership operation offering employment to the directors and staff of Silverstone TVR which is why some customers will have been informed by the directors and/or TVR themselves that a new factory owned dealership operation would be established at Silverstone in August/ September 2005.
Regrettably TVR has now decided not to proceed with these plans and the TVR dealership at Silverstone will be no more. The directors cannot comment further on matters leading up to the demise of Silverstone TVR, nor the situation with TVR Engineering, at this time.
Matt and Steve (the title by which “the directors of Silverstone TVR” were more commonly known) are currently seeking to establish a TVR specialist service operation within the Silverstone vicinity. Feedback from the TVR community would be greatly appreciated.

I sincerely hope that Matt and Steve succeed. Both tops blokes, they were the only main dealer interested in helping me into a used TVR.
Their professionalism and enthusiasm for the brand is important to owners and I personally think it's a great loss to the TVR dealer network that Silverstone folded.
Sounds like Steve and Matt have been through a fair bit over the last couple of months. A real shame the proposed arrangements did not come off.
Would be great to have the guys back up and running again in the area. They were an exceptionally professional and friendly set up that had some great ideas. Knowing Steve and Matt, they will bring that professionalism, enthusiasm and energy into whatever they do decide to set up.
All the best to the lads in whatever they set up and look forward to dropping in for a coffee and a catch up when they get sorted.

Only just found this thread (Thanks Green V8S) but i'm disappointed to hear this as i am quite local.
It would be great if they could open a non-franchised dealership or service centre. I currently go all the way down to Austec for any major work, so it would be nice to have someone local & good.
Cheers & Good luck to the guys
