I've owned my Cerbera for 6 months now and I love it, but today it finally made sense.

I phoned Dave at DC trim as he's retrimming my steering wheel for me, but the cool thing is, he trimmed all of our interiors "back in the day" and even better, the lady who will be re trimming it is the lady who trimmed it 9 years ago, and she'll be trimming it in the old TVR buildings.

Now call me a spotter if you will, but isn't it nice knowing how personal that is, You wouldn't be able to track down the exact machine that trimmed your new Focus RS sterring wheel in 9 years from now would you?

It just made me feel, I don't know, in touch with TVR today? hard to explain but do you get my drift?


Cheers,

Andy

Welcome to the TVR fold Andy.

You've hit the nail on the head in terms of TVR ownership. They are unique cars each having an individual history. TVRs never loose their appeal, how ever old a TVR is thumbup.

My car is back in Bristol Avenue, with Surface & Design, Malcolm (Potato Muncher) sprayed my car in 2006 and Andy had a photo of it as his screensaver for a while. Dave & Chris (D&C) are finishing Jason's (STR8SIX) Tuscan convertible and using mine as model to help. Tracey is the steering wheel expert and she loves doing them.I know it's only a small number of those once employed at TVR, but it's fantastic to see them all doing so well...long may it continue.

I'll second that.
