TVR Factory

[TVR500Morgan]

Does anyone know what state the old factory is in now ? I'd love to visit but I'm based in Reading so Blackpool is a fair old journey for me to make. Are there still old jigs & body's etc lying around outside ?. Last I heard some of the ex employees had gone solo renting bits of it.

I've seen a few pictures of the 'leftovers'. I'm surprised that nobody has helped themselves!

[TVR500Morgan]

Cheers Paul. That's something I've always thought. Who owns all the spares ? Smolenski ?

Sorry lads, all the buildings have been flattened bar the street fronted ones and everything cleared. There is nowt left just empty ground.

The only thing left is Surface & Design.

Don't suppose I could get these pictures aswell please?

Shame the factory is gone.
Who do we hate (dislike with a passion)? Nikolai Smolenski!

I thought that he didn't own the site, which was part of the problem with keeping the factory going.

[carsy]

I`ve been informed that the site is still owned by Peter Wheeler`s widow and her new husband Karl Oyston, Blackpool football club owner.

Mr. Oyston can be seen sporting the reg TVR 100 on his Rangie.

You have got that wrong glow worm. That comment is nothing to do with my wife.

I have just looked at who put the comment on and it was a good customer of mine that has a 350i from near Manchester and is very happy with what i do for him looking after his pride and joy.
