At the Classic event this weekend I was told there was at least one, maybe two, Tivvers wrecked not far from a channel port. Hope this is not true. Anybody see anything?

It's on the TVRCC forums .. one Griff quite badly damaged but fortunately both people in the car are ok and eventually continued their journey in another car smile

Unfortunately there was a Griff which looked to be a write off a few miles outside of Calais in the rain on Friday morning.According to those with them other TVRs there were no serious injuies.
Hope this is the case,as much as we love our TIVs they can be repaired or replaced,so hope those involved are back on the road soon.

Very sorry to hear that frown , glad that both occupants are OK though. I was driving on that road on Friday in the Chim - I was a bit apprehensive when going to sleep the night before as it had been raining cats and dogs all day, luckily for me the weather held apart from the odd drop. The car was fantastic and I never felt for a moment it would do something that I didn´t want it to do.

A sobering reminder to keep firmly in ´survival mode´ in the wet.
