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.

I also went to the factory after the pub, give it the full works past the gates, got a thumbs up off a lone worker stood by the main entrance.
Big thanx to everyone that made today happen (mr&mrs nTEL) etc.
Really makes you think how special tvr really is , the cars, the owners and the people who built them.
good luck to you all in the future.
What a great day, thanks again Ntel.
Good to meet up with so many people who appreciate TVRs.
We were very touched by the workforce's appreciation gathering - it made it all worthwhile.
Nice to see my old mates from the factory at the pub to name a few ..Heath, Andy,Toby,Gerbil also Kirsty who used to work in service several years ago.
It was an honour to chat to Martin Lilley , I have a couple of photos of him ( one with Uncle Bulgaria ) How do I post them onto the thread????

Chris, I was hanging around your Tam to meet you, but for some reason our paths didn't cross - mine was the yellow Tam. Your car looked stunning.
