OK as promised at the last mid-Essex meet I have finally managed to post some details on my site, (under news and articles - please see my profile for site address) of the proposed S Series models I am producing.

I really need some feed back on colours as I can only produce four different colours in the initial run of 500 cars and of course which derivative i.e. S1, S2, V8 etc.

The most popular colours and derivative will be produced later this year once the prototypes are finished.

Each car will be hand built and cost around £60-65 with discount for TVRCC members.

Thanks Podie, I kinda made up my mind on those three colours too but the problem we have is which S to build first. Being biased I'm leaning towards the S3 of course but depending on response this may change.
Once I have the prototypes produced however, we can then think about producing the others, again depending on demand.

Cheers

Thanks Al.

Yes the Tuscan racer is also planned in various liveries too but due to the high cost of producing prototypes we can only produce four new moulds a year right now.

I'll keep you posted on production schedules etc.

Yes you are right on the S3 bonnet but here again if it's the S3 that gets built first we may have to compromise a little.

In terms of the 500 limited number this is not really a factor when looking at the number of real cars sold or produced as TVR models in particular are in demand amongst collectors as well as owners past and present.

Price however is a factor which is why we have limited each run of cars to a maximum of 500. Each one will be hand built and be a very high quality finish so much so, it will probably put my car to shame!

Many thanks for all your feedback.

I will bring along a couple Alfa's we have already produced as example cars at the next Mid-Essex meet to show you the kind of quality, paint finish etc you can expect. In most cases the final production model ends up with a better paint finish than the real car (certainly in the case of early Alfa's).

At the moment from analysis of the feedback given an S3 in mica blue, cooper green and monza red are favourites with V8's very close behind.

In terms of interior we will stick to black or tan with a walnut dash.

Finally, we will make both an S3 and a V8S as I love both cars anyway.

Cheers
