How long have TVR been manufacturing their own Gear boxes for? Their site hase been updated and includes a factory tour. In the powertrain design section it says that they do. They also use computers to develop their cars which seems new for thme to me. Please say if they have been doing so for quite a while or if it is new.
In the loading yard system the site says that a fleet of transporters will bring them to docks or airports if they are going overseas. Does this mean Europe or could it possibly mean North America too.

News to me, but not impossible I suppose.

Hmm - what price a bit of CAD? Wouldn't get too excited if I were you.

Big deal. In summary I think the marketing is a bit purple! Did they use the word 'innovative' anywhere? That's usually a giveaway...

TVR are developing a new 6 speed sequential gearbox. The man at the motor show said that it was finished but needed testing.
He said they would be putting it into the T440R and later making it an option on the other cars.
He said that it would fit into a Griff/Chimaera but that you would need a new bell housing and prop shaft.

Yes but the T440 on display had a standard Borg Warner T5. It's probably complete in the same way that the Speed 12 was complete - "We've built one and it works so we can now say that we manufacture them".
