TVR meeting last week.... so what was said?
Discussion
V8 GRF said:
There must be someone on here that must know what was announced or spoken about, or are are you all under NDAs?
The silence was deafening. 
My source suggested that it was pretty much going over old ground, but with representaion from some of the other companies who were rumoured to be involved - including Ricardo. Adds some credability I guess, but only if you have a trace of faith that something will happen.

Were you there, Robby T? It seems like you always have the inside track on this subject. How about a more indepth report for everyone?
I was not there but know people who where there. I cannot say to much as it will implicate other people hense why i only ever give basic facts to the situation.
I heard this indirectly:
Major upgrades to the SP6.
Bodies from South Africa - unclear if variants on previous model range or new.
Manufacturing in Italy.
Parts from Multipart.
Cars on sale in 2009.
Don't ask me how reliable this is as I do not know, just acting part of the online rumour mill.
It doesn't inspire me to start saving for a deposit, but you never know.

All sounds correct apart from bodies made in south africa...they cannot and will not do the volume tvr requires for a global market. so after the BS clears they still dont have a body manufacturerMajor upgrades to the SP6.

How about the company that made Noble's bodies in South Africa? They'd be able to produce the require volume (stop laughing!) without any problems.no they would not.........tvr was talking about 1000's of vehicles per year....if they was talking mid hundreds then yes...
The factory is south africa does low volume niche sports cars not mass produced vehicles as tvr would have us believe that they intend to do..certainly for the usa market

That's just exactly the same 'news' as earlier this year only they've changed the year from Major upgrades to the SP6.

So that's about as reliable as a Speed 6 with an empty sump
