Money Grab ??

[Nigel-vvka9]

I was considering relocating to another EU Country pre-Brexit .I visited the TVR website belonging to the New Owners of TVR . I completed the forms to apply for 2 Certificates of Conformity for each of my Wheeler Era TVRs .I submitted the Forms with all the required documents and Proofs . I waited ...........................and waited .This week I received 2 emails informing me that TVR had lost access to my Applications but had now recovered them .At the time of application there was no hint that there would be a charge for the Certificates .Today there is still no hint of a charge on the Heritage section of the Website .I assumed the New Owners were providing this as a goodwill service to those who proved their loyalty to, and faith in, the TVR brand during the Wilderness Years .However , this week I was informed that a single Certificate would cost £300 .An expensive piece of paper which comes with a disclaimer that TVR do not warrant the Certificate will be acceptable to any regulatory body outside the UK . In other words ...please pay us £300 for a piece of paper which may not be worth the very paper its written on . Yet another example of how the New Owners seek to procure revenue from loyal TVR owners to whom they previously contributed nothing .

As far as I know, there is no valid CoC for some TVRs.
Best would be to contact TVR enthusiasts in your choosen countries directly.
I am sure they will be pleased to be of help with experiences how to get a TVR on the road there.
Which can be very difficult in some countries, but much easier as long as UK is still in the EC.
