Gorner TVR Stock

[tvrmadmarc]

Gutted to see the dealership in Wigan go under, anyone have any clues as to where the stock went ?

seen a few of their old cars for sale in the classifieds advertised by Dream machines.
shame really. i heard they were a good dealer and they certainly had some nice tivs pass through their hands recently.

Just been to into Preston for a look at the new TVR dealership,
looks like is now up and running, Some nice looking cars in stock.
I believe some of the Gorners ex staff now work there. Only a few
minutes away from me so i'll be doing plenty of window shopping.
Not sure if any of the stock was at Gorners.
we can only hope it does ok.

Strangely enough I'd heard just the opposite. Moot point now I suppose.

Off topic:

Whenever I see moot I think of:

I play along with the charade
That doesn’t seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot

not many songs have moot in

Julian,
It's Ciceley Continental(used to be new Merc dealer until Pendragon came along), they're on Queen Street, behind Homebase on London Road. I pick my new Tuscan Convert this afternoon, not sure if I'm their first new customer.
Mike Clarke from Gorners is there and I beleive Ian from Service and a few others start today.

Keith, thanks for that - it'll be interesting to see how good they are.

I look forward to seeing your new baby in the area soon! You'll hear mine before you see it - I collected the Tamora from TVR Power on Saturday morning after her service, complete with new super sports exhausts. Fabulous, makes such a difference.

Their stock was put out to tender by GVA Grimley - had a look through but apart from workshop stuff there didn't seem to be much stuff, I did see on the tender list a TVR chassis and a couple of wheels - but didn't see what they went for to be honest - sad to see it close, as my experience of them was good !
