Adam Martin and I have designed a new type of TVR, well we plonked a wind turbine in a Cerbera. We are struggling to get it moving, but It might be a goer, given Smolensky is now into Wind Turbines  No more issues with TVR engines, as it's powered by da wind

The only problem I see with that development would be the low bridges, but other than that you're good to go!

I would like to re-post my initial design sketch from a week or so back, please all feel free to modify/upgrade it The only way we will get TVR back into wind powered production is if we do the ground work first!! Best solution so far was a V8 for mobility and wind turbine to run the electrics.

You see the turbine may look a but big but it offsets the carbon footprint of the v8, it's basically a hybrid. Yes the top speed is now 80mph less and the roof needed some work but it's a small compromise. I will be putting this to smolenski in a wax crayon drawing for his understanding. A 'T' model for telescopic will follow.

I like it, a Hybrid!!! Maybe the T version could be used when parked up to fully charge the battery and then lowered for transportation to the next site. Do you think that the roof re-design could be minimised by attaching the turbine to the chassis? Always found he prefered pencil to crayon as he can then just rub out what he doesn't like that day.
