So if Power are fabricating the "new" cars, does this mean they will be able to offer brand new Cerbera oem chassis ,as they currently do for the Griff& Chim?

Richard Thorpe was on the TVRCC stand at the recent NEC Classic and he said that a Cerbera chassis jig was in development.

I emailed them about whether they could build me a Typhon (T440) and the reply came back "we could try". A bit vague but I'm not ready to place a deposit yet so will investigate whether they are genuine or not nearer the time

NS has the Typhon moulds but they certainly don't have the skills or the knowledge to build them as the majority of the guys who built them still work at Bristol Avenue.

So why not farm that part of the build out to Surface & Design et al?

That's the obvious answer but that's not exactly TVR re-entering production is it? It's just an extention of what already happens in a lot of cases with regards to full refurbs etc.

No, but it would be the most logical way of combining resources out there - this is the 21st century, no need for the ballast of a 'real' factory with overheads, a workforce that would be reduced to playing cards the moment there are no orders in the pipeline et al - and the end product is just as 'real' a TVR as anything.

Totally agree it's the way forward, but with the amateur hour website and the apparent lack of thought that's evident there and with inattention to detail even evident in the pricelist I just wonder if any real thought has gone into just how they intend to deliver anything?
