Hola,Is it right that they only made one typhoo before production ended.

Has any of you guys ever seen it? If so where?.

Are they members of PHs? Has anyone got pictures, or any info at all would be great.

LYNN

As far as I'm aware typhoo is still in production?



As the for Typhon (2004). I'm sure I've seen some pics knocking around of one - I'm sure someone will pop up with one soon.

AFAIK there was never an actual Typhoon (2007) made - That never got past concept did it?

Regards

There are two Typhons and one T400R.

The T400R is still being repaired I think after it was involved in an accident.

Have a look in this model area T400R/T440R & Typhon area for more info and pics.

The Typhoon as mentioned, thankfully, never made it past the CAD drawings

I was meaning registered cars when I first posted so I guess you're thinking

God and this is over cars I don't even like to look of... biggrin

I guess you're suggesting that there's another T440R? I'm not sure that one still exists. Talking to Paul Forrest who was responsible for building the prototypes, then dismantling them, then building them up and then.... you get the picture.... even he wasn't sure what was left at the end.

I think there are plenty of TVR skeletons lying around, but we have quite enough already!!

One of the Typhons is in the Cotswolds. It's popped along to C3C meetings a couple of times

Cool numberplate as well

I had a nice chat with Mr & Mrs TYP110N, at Rockingham. I thought the story they told of how Mr 'T' bought it off NS was rather nice.

Apparently, Mr 'T' was visiting NS when invited into a room where the Typhon was sat (I presume Bristol Ave). If memory serves NS was supposed to be keeping it for himself, but that's not what happened once he'd revealed the Typhon to his guest. I hope I have this right and haven't offended anyone by relaying this (as was told to me) charming story.
