Walldonway no longer offical TVR dealer

[prop]

Got a letter today from TVR saying that "as a valued customer" they were advising me that Walldonway's franchise had been withdrawn, effective from April 2004.

I was so "valued" that every line of the address except my name was wrong. The post office did well to deliver the letter.

Strange that Walldonway's website still shows them as offical dealers. Stranger still that so does the TVR website.

I'm told that the letter is wrong. It should have said April 2005 as there is a 12 month notice period.

Oh, only a minor detail then.

You'd think someone would proof-read it before sending it out!

Got our letter today - considering we picked ours up second hand and Hawthorns relayed all our information onto the factory it's kinda ironic how the letter was about their dealership being revoked

That's the third long term dealer to go in the south, how many does that leave?,I'm losing count.

Ted, this may be a good time to ask TVR who their dealers are, as so many have left, or been given notice it must be difficult for TVR owners to keep up with the changes.

Do you think they could go the same way as Noble, dealership wise, for in real terms with production in the low figures currently reported, the whole of TVR's yearly output equates to the same level, in terms of new car sales, as one large Ford main dealer,yes, one large main dealer, puts it in perspective doesn't it!!!!!!

We have a company in our group that operate a main Renault dealership, they sell between 600/700 units a year, that's new cars, never mind used.

Perhaps Waldonway's recent new Ssangyong franchise was seen as unacceptable competition (163bhp Turbo Diesel Mercedes Engine, with Italian styling) ?!
