RE: 250 orders for new TVR
Thursday 27th August 2015
It says something of TVR's lasting appeal that over 250 deposits have already been taken for its new sports car in six weeks. This despite no information on what the car will look like or indeed even be named. Talk about a leap of faith!
250 orders for new TVR
The good news continues from TVR with a "staggering response" to inviting deposits
But then the alliance of TVR with Gordon Murray Design and Cosworth is an exciting one, and a lot of people have already seen and heard enough potential to part with their cash. Chairman Les Esgar says it's "a heart-warming situation", and that more details will be revealed soon. He added: "To all our customers who have shown their faith I can promise that the new car will exceed expectations in every way."
Indeed, such is the level of demand that 2018 is now being quoted as a delivery date despite the new TVR set to first reach customers in 2017. TVR's Operations Director John Chasey says "initial volumes are limited" as the factory will increase production through 2017.
That's about it for now, with more announcements to be made in the coming weeks. Can we start suggesting names yet?
Discussion
TVR had better have something utterly mind-blowing lined up to make sure these deposits stick! There must be some serious die-hard fans out there. Fair play to them tbh, brand loyalty ain't a bad thing. They're just one of those manufacturers that can get away with this kind of thing.
It will be an embarrassment if it turns out to be absolutely pish though. I'm excited myself to see the final product and I've not even got a deposit down

2018 rather than 2017. I really hope it doesn't slip back any further. I can't judge whether 250 deposits is staggering or not. Good luck to them and everyone that's on the queue. I'll own another TVR I think but it'll be after the reviews are out and the potential 1st generation issues dealt with.

I think they mean the 2017 allocation has sold out, and if you put a deposit down now you'll get your car in 2018.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
