Hi all, after recently purchasing my Chimaera and being very pleased with it, I now have to go to Blackpool to work there this weekend, which is quite fitting! Not been there before, any TVR related things to see? Anything left of the old factory? Thanks

Thanks, I will try and do that. I'm working there on Saturday then will probably have a night out in Blackpool with some friends.
Then come to say hi Sunday morning before the long drive home!

It was an empty shell in November. TVR branding above one of doors and thats it. Still worth a visit before it gets redeveloped or whatever, but don't expect too much - it is a now only another empty and disused factory after all.

It's a sad sight - was there late November: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Its official.....i'm 'HARDCORE' as one member called me today.

180 mile round trip from Stockport, upto the Shovels and met some really nice people, saw some exotica and went for a play. All this with the roof down and not a rain drop in sight.

Sorry, i'm crap with names, it was good to meet the Blackpool crew and some of the old factory workers.

See ya'll next meet.

I went to Bristol Avenue on Friday. If you've never been before, as was the case with me, it's worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood. Much bigger than I imagined too. Just a pleasant half hour nostalgia trip.
