TVRCC Wiltshire/Neil Garner Open Day The third annual TVRCC Wiltshire Region/Neil Garner Open Day takes place this year on Saturday 27th September. This event is the largest TVRCC event specifically aimed at members who like to wander around and browse the myriad of stalls provided by traders who are specialists in the field of TVR’s. As last year the action will centre ‘Blackpool Corner’ as the hub of traders with a direct connection to the old manufacturing plant and the Marque. There will be something for everyone with for example traders who worked in the original factory in Blackpool in the Body and Trim shops, TVR engine specialists, original TVR Alarm experts, new chassis manufacturers and lots more. This year following members requests, traders have been asked to bring smaller items for visitors to purchase on the day, so don’t forget to bring along plenty of cash.



The rolling road will be back again enabling owners to see how much effect that winter tinkering had on the power at the wheels. As before, there will be the loudest Car Competition, an Auction of TVR related offerings, plus ‘money can’t buy’ items. New for this year there will be workshop sessions. These sessions hosted by engineers foremost in their field and lasting approximately 20 minutes will cover: Outriggers, the Speed Six Engine, Front Headlight Conversions etc. Representatives from the Dunlop TVR European Challenge and the TVRCC Speed Championship are invited, so there will be experienced competition drivers on hand to brief you on how you can enter your car into a sport that is as one of them always says, ‘the most enjoyable way to waste a day’ There are new and more professional caters this time, to feed the hungry driver (not forgetting the passenger), plus the Wiltshire members ladies will be on hand selling cakes and raffle tickets with proceeds including the auction going to the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. Last year we raised over £2k

With over 250 TVR’s expected on the day this season closer promises to continue the tradition of one of those events not to be missed. Contact Wiltshire RO David Border for more details ro@tvrcc-wiltshire.co.uk

Hi Sean,

The event starts at 10.00am

Entrance is free however, as it is free, we welcome everyone's generosity by supporting the raffle and auction with all the proceeds going to the much needed funds of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. Raffle tickets will be available on the day at the Wiltshire TVRCC stand where we will be handing out goody bags as well - A large number of the bags have gifts in them, it is random but there are some gifts worth £10’s. If you are lucky you may get one.

The auction is at 2.30pm with over £4000 worth up for grabs

We had spoken to Dom at TVR Power (who came last year and VERY generously supported our charity). Thereafter Jason at Straight Six. Both, this year were unable to make the event.

Matt

If you have some specific questions on the Speed 6 we do have someone who is quite knowledgeable and might be able to answer some direct questions or concerns for you, he has stripped and built a few so he knows he way round the engine.
I would have to check with him as he is not a trader just an enthusiast but likes to challenge why things work by taking them apart and rebuilding them again.
