TVR and Ice Marine co-operate at MPH'04

Blackpool's finest and ultra-modern boats in theatre of dreams.

---

TVR and Ice Marine will be exhibiting alongside each other at MPH’04 co-operating to cross sell their extraordinary designs. Each company is dedicated to bringing out the true spirit of driving - on and off - the land.

Both TVR and Ice Marine represent the very best of British hand crafted power and luxury. Their designs and engineering are dedicated to high performance both on and off the water.

They share a great synergy between their race bred brands and the customer base which both companies hope to capitalise on at the show.

While Ice Marine are exhibiting one of their 85 mph, £150,000 Bladerunner Sports, TVR will have Tamora, T350, Sagaris (top), as well as Targa and convertible versions of the brand new Mark 2 Tuscan.

Is it Ice Marine that a certain well heeled Russian has been considering acquiring?

I hope they don't fit the Speed 6 engine in the boat... being stuck by the side of the M1 is one thing but drifting mid-Channel would be something else.

None of the manufacturers were directly represented at MPH04 (I went last night), it was all H R Owen. Hence no new rumours from TVR. I thought the show was bigger but not better than last year.

According to the brochures they come as standard fitment on any fast boat...

TVR were at the show in their own right as were some of the other niche manufacturers.

I didn't spot any TVR stand (apart from the boat) - maybe I walked straight past it ? I did arrive a bit late but the show started late so I saw it all.

They didn't have a stand, just the fours cars parked near the Land Rovers.

Do the boat makers have a similarly naff slogan? 'Wet Dreams', perhaps?

Would they be the bulletproof (literally) Land Rovers ?
OK, I saw them then. Phew.

Every car had an H R Owen plate so I assume they were "major sponsors" or something.

I went to MPH03 and thought it was the beginings of a good thing, I dont think they made it any better this year.
Went last night saw the new Tuscan 2 (mine is on hold now until next spring)and Sagaris and T350 The arena was a good show opening with TVR Tuscan S and T350 Dough-nutting everywhere. Caravan bashing was true to form and V dramatic, It was worth going to see the show.
The speed boat looked great, but Tuscan2 was tucked in a tight spot with no representation. I did`nt think there was as many independent small manufacturers there; too many fancy stands selling perfume and pool tables. It needed more cars with better presentation. I did not see it but a mate of mine said there was a crack on the Sagaris bonnet that did not look too impressive. Got some pics if I could find out how to put them on this site, any-one help me?
