Lots in EVO this month - An editorial, the Cerbera "Black Hound" Test Mule gets a showing, interviews with Gordon Murray and others.
All positive, except the price seems to be drifting higher frown

Don't normally purchase car magazines, is it worth me doing so?

Most of it seems to be on FB now - Tuscan section has the most.

Further progress it seems, will be good to see where it really is at the preview sessions.

12 pages...definitely worth a read. It looks real, and sounds like they will pull it off. Can't wait.

Yes, a nice series of articles, and a nicely balanced reflection on the TVR of old while looking forward to the next phase. Definitely worth a read

The main article leads with:

"TVR is on its way back. Over the following 12 pages is everything we've learned so far about its new sports car,and trust us there's plenty to get excited about"

Yes Octobers edition is out already, as Evo produce their magazine every 4 weeks you end up with each "months" edition getting earlier until you get the extra thirteenth edition in early December

EVO: I've every confidence in Murray's ability to design a brilliant car. I share his belief in low weight, simplicity and the importance of not over-tyring a car or making it too wide. The big question is, will Murray and his team be involved right through the development and production stages? The breadth of talent at GMD is impressive, with designers and engineers with experience in high- and low volume production, Murray is adamant that GMD will be closely involved all the way. Right up until the point that the customer has the keys in his or her hand."

Encouraging, only hope it's a keyless fob though, the Cerbera had that over 20 years ago hehe

GM not working for me I am afraid. His comments about ergonomics being high list of negatives with TVR has wound me up. I mean everything I get in the Cerbera I think, "this would be so much nicer with the dash from a Fiesta"

Cerbera, best ergonomics of any car I've ever driven. Tuscan not bad at all. I don't get what GM is trying to sort here? I just loved being in TVRS.

Sort reliability, not ergonomics.

OK, maybe sort the demister too.
