Different people, different perspectives. Non-members or non-tvrcc fans might have a different views to those who are members / tvrcc 'management' regarding TVRCC and new TVR. Dont bite :-)

No its not. See my post on the TVR Parts thread and on the TVRCC website. Les was with us today; all very positive smile
Can't do that 'cos I'm not a member of TVRCC. Can you repeat the gist of what you said here please Ralph?

Looks like it, same incorrect stock list, same address, same owners, and they have also lowered the discount.

The first part suggested to me that you meant committee members would not be best placed to talk to the owners of TVR..... or am I getting the wrong end of the stick there...... confused
I'm sure the committee members will have filled Mr Edgars' order book wink.

I'm sure they'll be talking to a wider spectrum of folk than just TVR owners, if they didn't they'd be foolish and I'm sure that's not the case.

However when marketing to or making announcements the existing ownership/fanbase whether TVRCC or not is always going o be a good place to start.

Well it looks like a car is coming a proper TVR re-branded built by a few hand selected ex TVR employees. Well it takes more than a badge to make a thoroughbred British built sports car.

The ex TVR employees will be building a new car from the ground up, not under the TVR badge they feel that the correct thing to do is to start with a clean sheet. I know a little as spoke to one of them whilst in Blackpool recently.

No not TVR news as there wont be any, Heritage parts made in China, and buying stock from other TVR specialists.
No Designs, have admitted they cannot build cars and a poor mans Aston Martin as quoted in previous interviews!
My money is on the TVR ex employees, as they have the experience and know how to build cars and they have the designs.

Good luck to them but if Al Melling failed what makes them think they will be any more successful?

TVR news - which came from a business associate/friend of Edgar is they are struggling to build a car or should that be "trying to build a car" and with in budget!!!!
As he said in interviews "no experience in building cars" says it all really.

"Men in shed" is how TVR started, Im sure they are not worried about a brand name they already have one, lets be honest TVR was once a brand when Peter Wheeler owned it now its only a badge!

As quoted by Al Melling:-

"All the tooling is fragmented and in different places, and of course TVR did not have any kind of engineering company systems and logistics, therefore a lot of the information for building cars was in the heads of most of the employees."

I would say they have a very good chance.
Good luck boys Im with you all the way!!!!

Black Tasmin you have a bit of a strange way of posting, it reads like you're just clipping random comments together. What exactly is your point?

The point I was trying to make is Al Melling had connections to TVR, had an understanding of the manufacturing process and even managed to produce a few cars, but still couldnt make it work.

Why would someone buy a new car from someone who has just setup in a shed, knowing that the chances of the company surviving is small and that then the parts & support for the car could become a nightmare and the resale value plummet to next to nothing.

Having said that I hope they prove me wrong and make a success of it.

An anonymous quote from a "business associate" is news?

Neither did Peter Wheeler in 1989, that's why you employ people that do. What you do need is a good business man to run the business.

What has an out of context quote from 6 years ago got to do with anything?

So you think a group with no brand name and little backing has a better chance of building and marketing a new car than a group with a very well known brand and large amounts of investment?
