Had a nice little daytrip to France yesterday and ended up in Bayeux, where Mrs. Prunus and I spent a happy day seeing the sights.


I was a little suprised to find what must be the earliest reference to TVR in existance in a sleepy Normandy town rather than in Northern Britain.

I regret I am unable to translate the text in the picture, the only bit I recognise is 'TVR CARo', but it would appear to be an early representation of the factory.

I can certainly see a cow in the process of being turned into some upholstery and another bloke inspecting a steering wheel.

Any idea what's going on in the right of the picture?
