small item in daily telegraph today. tvr had 104 orders at motor show.
presumably with interest generated by new models and test drives in the next few weeks this will increase
quite a lot.wonder how many of each model were ordered,
i think the T350C must be near the top.there are supposed to be several R400 / R440 on order.with an
annual production run in the region of 1000 cars,then
an potential order book in the region of 10-20 % is
great.

Great news indeed.
Congrats to TVR! Considering the size of the company the amount of coverage the 'factory' is having is quite amazing. This is a credit to Ben Samuelson and to everyone in Blackpool who build such fantastic cars.

Now that the order book is well on track, I hope production will be the fcocus of the attention to make sure all these cars are robust and delevered on time.

Keep it up guys!

When the Griffith was introduced at the Motor Show, an order was taken every 8 minutes.

What does that equate to in numbers? 5 ten hour days at that rate would be 375 orders - 104 doesn't look like that much of a success in comparison.

Yes but the Griffith was the first completely new model for quite a while wasn't it ?
