They did, briefly - then shortie said the factory was closing and Mr Important said oh well and off to the next subject

The Tuscan performed brilliantly, didn't break down and nothing fell off. Of course they moved swiftly on...

You probably are just beinga miserable b@satrd...however, TVR air time is useless if they report things poorly.

Never mind, if you say something often enough and loud enough

Monday at 7pm.

Shame that they had to go on about the current TVR factory closing and that the Tuscan 2 may be their swan song. They could have better reported - it only takes seconds to tell the full story rather than sticking to doom and gloom...

Really glad about that, it didn't break , can you imagine the glee in their eyes if it did. As already said, twas a shame they didn't dwell on the actual car and its performance though. I think it is a testiment to the current TVR's it took a full(ish) track day without complaint . I can think fo few other 'better' marques that may have struggled on the clutch front, but they would have had full factory support and a spare identical car too .
Well done to TVR, even though it was a small mention it was excellent placement and agreat endorsement. All they need to do now is sign Jackie up for some well aimed product placement, possibily a free loan Tuscan would go some way .

It says on the TVR car club website that the stig would be taking it around the track.

According to NS in his EVO interview TVR is staying in the UK with the TVR name, will belloking to expand into Asia and possibly the US. Eventual target is a max of 5000 cars a year to keep exclusivity..and oh yes a V12 is on the cards. Its not all doom and gloom!!!!

The car looked and sounded wonderful and was obviously very well sorted. The comments were not as good as I hoped for but not as bad as I feared, no glue and plastic smell jibes and apparantly Jackie Stuart could get into the car and start it in under three days-maybe you need to be an F1 star to do that. Yes it was a shame about the factory comments, I do wonder what the legal position is if they only partially report the known facts but no doubt the BeeB wouldn't give a stuff as TVR are so small.
It'll make a great promo Video one day-just cut out the babble at the end.
Thought the Prodrive was cool but it only beat the Sagaris by .3 of a second round the track so big deal on the Prodrive expertise front.
Another point that will never be made of course.
Never mind-we still love them.
