Lego TVR project

[Harry3099]

Hi, I have recently made seven TVR cars out of LEGO to celebrate TVR's homecoming.

I would appreciate it if you were to check them out here:

Hopefully, soon, they will be uploaded to a site called LEGO ideas, on which if they recieve 10,000 supports they will be produced and sold as official LEGO sets for you to buy!
Thanks for reading

Those are great, you can easily pick out details in each that perfectly represent the car's they are modeled on, even the tamora is as ugly in Lego as in real life...

Why no griff or chim?

Thanks, glad you like them
I wanted to make a Griffith and a Chimaera, but unfortunately their curves are pretty much impossible to recreate nicely in LEGO. I didn't want to spoil them if I'm honest...

Utterly fantastic. 350i for me if they produce one. I think Sprint need to run an article of this. Cheers.

Lucky for you, sprint are going to feature them!

Hi Harry,
Good to meet you and your Dad yesterday at the Classic Car Show - on the TVRCC stand of course. You are obviously a dedicated TVR fan and your models are expertly crafted - even down to the hinged bonnets and folding roofs. Awesome!
As I mentioned yesterday, a few of us S owners are meeting for breakfast at the Touchdown Cafe, Wellesbourne on Sun 30 Nov at 09:00hrs ( unless the weather forecast is atrocious ). If you can both make it, you'd be more than welcome to have a run out. Have a look on the PH S Series forum for details.

In the meantime, it would be good if everyone on here could vote for Harry's models on the Lego website to encourage Lego to put at least one of them into production.

Hi Glen,
Was great to meet you too, what a fantastic show it was!
I probably won't be able to make it to the S meet, as my revision timetable for some upcoming exams has begun, and that date is unfortunately surrounded by exams. I will hopefully be coming to some TVR CC meets in the new year though, so perhaps see you there!
Thanks for the support Glen!

Hi Harry,

What a cracking job you have done there...
.....I missed you when you visited us at the TVRCC stand over the weekend ...a v.busy event as you would have seen.
.....been sorting mastiff out today getting the Sagaris back to Power etc....just checking the net and came across this...then I recall Ginny ( my wife) telling me about your visit to the stand...and the folder with details about your excellent work...as is the way I was just a little busy and didn't get chance to meet you or see the folder...which is a shame....apologies there...

BUT you spoke to the right people and being a sad lad I would go for all of them!

Well done excellent idea...Ginny tells me that you want to get into car design....doing something like is no bad thing to have on your cv great stuff!

Thanks for the support Steve, the car club had a great stand at the NEC - as always! Glad you like the models, I am not expecting them to reach 10,000 supports, however I aim to publicise TVRs return to Britain, and just celebrate what an excellent car brand it is
It was nice to speak to Ginny and some other people on the stand on Saturday, they invited me to some meets which will be taking place in the new year so I will maybe see you at one of them!
I hope to get into car design, one day, it seems the most logical thing considering it combines my two favourite things - cars and art. If that doesn't work, I would like to turn to photography or maybe even journalism for car magazines or something. Either was, I will own a TVR someday
Nice to speak to you,
Harry

Harry,

Ginny just told me that you would like to have a ride in a TVR because you have never been in one.....no problem I think you are relatively local to us....so why not come along to one of our monthly meetings and I will get someone to take you out ( I can't drive until March when I ( hopefully) I get my licence back....in fact might be worth waiting til about that time as I intend to take my road legal Tuscan challenge car there on its maiden voyage

Hi again, that would be awesome! As mentioned in the previous comment, I will be hopefully be attending some of the meets later in the new year (depending on exams etc), so I will maybe see you there. I will let you know for definite which meets I will be going to, when the time comes.
Thanks!
Harry
