TVRs are getting very rare.
I drove 360 miles today, from Newark to Newport and back again.
I saw precisely no TVRs
I saw one 1929 4.5 litre Bentley, stopped at the side of a dual carriageway.
I saw one Tesla, driving on the A40 and M50.
So clearly TVRs are rarer than 1929 Bentleys and Teslas.

What time was that?

I went early morning/early afternoon and only saw bugatti's, Renaults and Citroens.

I'm gonna kill my daughter if she made me miss the Tiv's. What Tiv's went up the track?

That makes me feel better. I was in France yesterday so could only go today.

Thanks.

PS - well done on the record

We passed many German things, Italian exotica and other rare beasts, but not one other TVR on our journey back this morning. Considering it was the Goodwood breakfast meet too...

The morning I checked out the Thunder in the Tunnels Route (5th May) I saw no other TVRs in six hours, yet saw two 1960s Astons, a McLaren MP12-4C, a Jaguar XK 150 and an Austin Healey 3000

Where are you based? I live in Haslingden right on the M66, I drive to work on the M65 and M6 though. I heard and then saw a blue Cerbera a few weeks ago driving over the back road of Haslingden, was that you? If so consider yourself spotted!
