The grass always seems to be greener on the other side. You probably have some of the best car shows in the world in the US. I spent a couple of weeks in Canada and a day travelling through NY state last year and had the pleasure of seeing a number of hotrods and muscle cars. Fantastic!

I have just read all of his posts and not a positive comment anywhere!

Seems to hate BMW and Porsche as much as TVR, so may just be envious?
Fairly new to PH, does anyone recognise his style as being deleted in the past?

Says he is from Teeside, and I'm begining to understand why the lads I work with call them Teesniders! smile

To balance that out, we had one Teesider at work a while back who had a great sense of Humour.

Thanks for the great pictures! some lovely TiV's there, and a great place for an exhibition.
Doesn't that 3000S look the Dog's Doo Dah's with those 5 spoke alloys!
But! What the hell is the dark car on the left of the 350iFHC?

I can see a black Griffith, but no Chimaera. Clearly the proprietor has taste!
The orange one in front of it is a Chimaera non? confused
It is indeed a Chimp. If you zoom in you can see the golf clubs! smile

The car on the left of the Tasmin Coupe is a Trident from 1970. The car is in an amazing condition. Find following some pictures of it.

Hello,

There are 25 Cars (not 24) shown at the exhibition. That is including the Zante Prototype.

@griffter: You will find two Chimaera in the exhibition, an orange Chimaera 400 LHD (1994) and a halcyon atlantis Chimaera 500 RHD (1998).

The silver coloured Vixen is a 2500 (not M) from 1972.

Some more pictures which provide a virtual round tour of the exhibition are on my web-site. The link is: http://www.acs-pro.de/7_15.html.
Absolutely superb display....congrats to the German club members.clap

Evidently living up to his board name. smile

"Trident from 1970"
it's a ex-Belgium, ex-Dutch "plastic" Trident,
not a TVR Trident

You are right. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a TVR Trident for this exhibition. But we believe the Trident is part of TVRs history as well as the Griffith 200.

Strictly speaking both cars are not TVRs. But our exhibition wouldn’t be complete without them.

don't want to criticize, it's a great show!
Trident was a part of the history, but some people don't know the difference between the two.
