.Mark, not being funny or anything but your website and that blue lettering on a purple background? One word: DON'T!

Keep it simple mate - white

Cheers Mikey.

First attempt and all - was trying to keep the TVR purple in there, any advice on sensible colour combinations?

Mikey,
What browser do you use?
The site is built using the most advanced website design software (MSWord saved as a .htm file) with blue text on a background of dark purple at the top through white to dark purple at the bottom.
Clearly a design classic.

.... saw what I assumed was a T440R in the Rockingham paddock at the weekend parked up next to a very nice Noble.

Car was from Harrogate HC according to plates.

What a pair of exhausts !!!!!!

Is their a reason why TVR dont export to US? I gather emmissions may have been a problem with the old V8 but I doubt that would be a problem with the S6.... Maybe you should persuade them to let you open a dealership I would have thought that after the film Swordfish, many in the US would have been turned on to TVR's.

You only have to read through the TVR threads to see that TVR haven't got everything right (quality, service, supply, spares etc) here let alone venturing over to the US. The S6 engine...??? It would be a long way to return the car from US back to the factory...!!!

Dealerships in the UK are closing...(what does that say?)

I don't suppose they have the auto breakers and part supply of Ford, British Leland etc over there either in order to support older models...

Is it in the best interest of TVR..??
Is it their long term goal..??

I think NOT..

Last Time I Looked Ford Was American...And Dealerships closing..i think just as many have opened,and dealerships of all makes and models are opening and closing and changing all the time, i think the real reason is funding emmissions and the time and money it takes to get licensed would at this time not be cost effective.

I think NOT..
