For those naysayers who are wanting to be drip-fed information, would you not prefer them to take their time and get it right rather than rushing out concepts which were constantly changing.

TVR of old used to surf a wave of negativity whenever they put out new cars regarding their poor build quality and design errors, things that needed to be put right or re-glued by the first owners. Their saving grace was that the cars were so exciting that enough owners forgave those faults to buy more in the future. That was until the faults became too overpowering and it all fell apart.

The new TVR doesn't have that luxury. If its poor, it'll fail period. There won't be any second chances for this new car so be patient and let them do it at their own pace. Let them make the errors behind closed doors rather than in front of the doom mongers and motoring press.

Righty-Ho, tbf I had had a bottle of Rioja and was on my second whisky when I post my comment on Wednesday..... Still think there could be snippets and teasers though, keep us dangling rather than pull the deposit back.

the lack of information flow is not driven by design or desire to control it, but by the fact there is none.

thumbup

Little snippets and teasers like what they did at the London motors show for example? I can't wait to see it either and I didn't put a deposit down so the wait must be excruciatingly painful for those did, but I have the feeling that he's just not going to be rushed.

smile As mentioned (on the other thread?) I spoke to GM 4 weeks ago and asked how it was going with the TVR and he said "really well". The time before that he told me he had over 40 of his people working on the TVR job. I really can't see at this late stage that there will be no car!

I know, just frustration and impatience getting the better of me. Really looking forward to the date for the customer reveal.

Email from TVR..

"Thank you for your enquiry regarding the new TVR and also for placing a deposit. We understand that you and many others are keen to find out more about the new TVR and we can only assure you that as soon as we have new details to forward, we will do so and always to those who have placed deposits first. There is still planned a reveal for deposit holders later this year (late Summer) and we will be contacting you all in due course. The public reveal is then planned to follow later in 2017. Thank you for your time."

Sorry it's a bit of a non-post but it's clear the next piece of news will come when there actually is some news..

Lol, saw this thread had an update and my first thought was, why new news on 'it's Chilcot day' bury the bad news kind of way hehe
