Some great shots. Is that PRW bent over double?

And the pic above Wheeler bent over looks like the late great Dave Cummins to me....

No apologies for reposting these...

Here's what must have been the Vixen demonstrator outside Hoo Hill in 1970. That's me in the Ventora.



And here's Mum having a crafty peek inside.



Then it was off to Squire's Gate for the obligatory photo in front of the Lancaster.



Dad must have been impressed, because he bought this Tuscan, which was the very first TVR to be delivered from the new Bristol Ave factory on 04.01.1971.



Happy Days...

Definitely not that, the roof only has the single central piece and no sides to it above the doors. Also there is no rear quarter window, and the boot area is totally different...

I am looking for contact details of anyone who worked at TVR in 1955
(I know its along time ago but you never know your luck)



A Rochdale-bodied TVR chassis awaits completion inside the Beverly Grove workshops.

Or anyone who knows about this car?

Or knows or knew Mr Bob Hallett.

Please PM me.

Kind regards, Tony.

Other than the rather ungainly grill plonked on the nose the shell is obviously a fibreglass copy of an Aston Martin DB3S.

What's going to happen to the place . . . What's PW going to do with it?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was sold for £millions and demolished for housing.....

I'd say that that was odds on favourite.

Would be a real shame

What do you think the chances would be of TVRCC (with PW's permission obviously) holding one last fairwell party there? You know the sort of thing, a few volunteers give it a quick sweep up and then get all the key historical cars back there together, maybe some of the key historical figures: Lilley, Wheeler, etc, and all the fans and enthusiasts. I personally would love it.

Zero I would suggest. PW has demonstrated on numerous occassions he's not interested in anything TVR.

Good grief!

And: anno now?

Other than the rather ungainly grill plonked on the nose the shell is obviously a fibreglass copy of an Aston Martin DB3S.

The grill is from a three wheeled Bond Minicar and the fibreglass body is from the aluminium bodied John Coombs /Les Leston's Connaught ASLR which was damaged in May 1955 at Aintree a nearby race meeting and was taken to Rochdale Motor Panels for repair, and while been repaired they took a moulding from it and sold shells from the mould as the Type-C. The above bodyshell was sold to TVR in September 1955.
