It had changed back to the old site when I was looking at it, but that evening it changed back and also noticed it said Whiteley.

Not exactly west Hampshire, mind.......laugh

Well it is certainly a step forward. R&D, outsourced engine, getting the correct people, plan for build. Sounds good.
Engines, well it is a shame that Jag and Aston did not tie up. AMG have truned AML into a coachbuilder again.
It would be interesting to see Cosworth's V8 in a TVR.

While Les lives in that area, that address almost certainly just means Menzies are his accountants.

yes

It would be a royal waste of resources paying for office space at this time.

If the R&D is going on in Aberdeen, then I'm offended by not being asked my opinions. I fear my beloved home town would not be a centre of excellence for sports car design though, unless one were striving to build a 2.0TDI sports car available only in Recession White.

As for getting hung up on East, West and Central Sussex - jeez. You could drive the width of the whole of Sussex going from one Scottish or Welsh town to the next. The whole county is the size of a field.

...... and from an Audi dealer! Brilliant JD

Anyway, I can exclusivly reveal that I have been doing R&D work on suspension set ups, using my T2S as a mule test bed based at my fanstatic facilities (single garage, space heater, kettle, Typhoo tea bags, 3 week old milk, etc etc and 2x 3 tonne jacks....in fact not much different to Bristol Avenue getmecoat) So far the results have been unspectacular, boardering on a complete waste of time rofl

Totally. I believe that customers are the most cost effective R&D resource, following by botched attempts. Looking to launch the Tuscan Mk4 U/S edition in June! roflroflrofl
