TVR Thunder Run hits London

Help keep TVR British this Sunday

A thunder of TVRs

The TVR London Thunder run takes place this Sunday. The number of cars likely to attend looks set to be around 300 or more as the firm's fans gather for a protest in London over TVR's proposed move abroad.

The iconically British maker of rumbling sports cars is set to move production overseas - rumoured to be to Italy. TVR owners and others involved in different ways with the company see this rally as a way of showing the strength of feeling about the move.

According to the organisers, there are two key objectives for the rally and to help maintain and further raise the profile of the factory closure, and associated job losses, and to hold the largest ever gathering of TVRs.

The day will include:

Several convoys from around the country to London.
Transport for factory workers, and families from Blackpool to London. 104 TVR workers said they plan to attend.
A convoy through London, including a parade down Whitehall.
Petition presentation - along the lines of "Keep TVR British", to be presented to Downing Street at 1400. Three cars will been allowed to enter and park outside Number 10.
The rally will then head in convoy to the Ace Café on the Old North Circular Road, before departing for home.

TVRcarparts.com has also said that it'll be going along to add support and to offer essential parts and mechanical backup from Dulford Automotive.
