Well I saw it for the first time on Saturday - looked nice.
Was it still doing business last week? If so that was for three months longer than we had predicted on the original 'TVR London is closing' thread.




But it did close, Ed just as we said it would.
Cue Unrep.

They're actually relocating

The new location is to be announced in the New Year.

...and to clarify, this is 'TVR London', the facility owned by TVR, not the independent dealer 'London TVR'.

I thought London TVR was owned by TVR Engineering Ltd.? I didn't realise they we're an independent dealer.

London TVR are a normal main dealer, as per TVR Barnet etc, but TVR London are a direct factory outlet.

At least I think that it is right.

Fantastic - more money 'invested'!
But does that = more cars sold?

It was always going to close. They only took it on a short term lease. I would have thought you woulkd have known that.

I think the TVR show room at the Hogarth roundabout was owned and operated by TVR Engineering itself. But "London TVR" which is in Kings Cross is, I think, not related to the Hogarth one. Anyway, rumour on the grape vine is that London TVR may be opening a show room in Mayfair and use their Kings Cross garage for servicing. Either way I'm happy we have a good TVR garage/dealership in central London at last.

Probably judging by the numbers of people I always saw in there whenever I drove up to see my aunt in Barnes RIch...

does it actually equate to more cars sold,would these cars have been purchased from another dealer reguardless.

IMHO the factory selling direct is not fair on the TVR dealers.You either make a product and sell it yourself or you employ somebody to do it for you,you should not mix the two up
