The pretty she presenter must still be itching now from all that fibre glass. Don't miss Seve Reid in his silver Griff towards the end of the video. Need to be quick to finger catch it.

I like the bit at circa 1.55 mins in, where Ben is suggesting that TVR owners might be a bit nerdy and up pops Ian Bannister Yorkshire TVRCC RO and Steve Reid Manchester TVRCC RO!

This is brilliant and scary at the same time… scary because the factory looks like a mess and certainly not like our amazing cars should have come out from there… I am sure in Germany local recycling centres look better that the TVR factory…

I guess if they were made somewhere else and in any other way, our TreVoRs would not be what they are…

Impressive numbers when the geek was talking about the Tuscan Race car and the Cerbera Speed 12…

All the best, Frenchie

I see Adrian Venn at 2.31 - 2.34. Also see Colin Lyons (4.52) speaking to Trevor and Ben with what looks like some boot carpet under his arm.
What year was it as I was probably there but didn't see my car (Taimar at the time) nor me.

You were probably saving your 'TV airtime' tokens up for a feature length version later on Paul, even if not car related. winkbow
Sorry don't know the year.

Too right Ken.
The closing titles say the film was 1997 but not sure if that's when the tour was. The club arranged them and they split groups up into usually 4 or 5 hourly start slots. I always seemed to get Andy taking us around. Last one I did was 1998 I think, other than the one about 3 years ago.
