Well done to everyone involved. I am gutted I was not able to join you all. You even organised the weather. It was I am sure such an emotional occasion, the photos probably dont do the atmosphere at Bristol Avenue justice. A very fitting way to show our support to all the TVR workers.

Fantastic, distinct, appropriate and hopefully one day, an iconic photograph showing the true British passion and dedication to this great marque!

Fantastic work and heartiest wishes to all you guys that managed to attend the rally and although my ass isnt in a TVR as yet, I would have loved to turn up just to show my support!

Respect to Mr Lilley for turning up too!!

I managed to record the BBC North West footage which I found on SKY - I'll try and upload somewhere.

Big up to you all, a nice gesture and appreciated by the workers it seems. Hope it gave the management a twinge of guilt too

I hope it did too. Though my actual experience was one that angered me to the core. Travelling in a friend's wedge, we went to the factory after the pub to take some final photos outside the deserted factory. My friend did a spirited departure outside while I watched. Looking up above the door a window opened and a certain member of senior management looked out with what I could only term as a face of disgust, as though we had woken him from his afternoon nap. I wanted to tell him exactly what I thought of him but his face said it all... He's not worth it and he's not worthy, I thought. He then slammed the window shut.

Obviously he doesn't appreciate the sound of a V8. He should be ashamed. An utterly despicable reaction to somebody paying their respects to a factory and people who have given so much pleasure.

That said, I had a great time and hope all the workers did too. After all, today was for them as well as the marque as a whole.

Sorry I could not be there today, but my thoughts are with the TVR workers. Many thanks for your very hard work in producing the dogs nads of carsthumbup .

To see an empty factory fills me with saddness. The 2nd picture is much better.
