Quite simply - is there one?

With the news reported on Dailysportscar.com that LNT are moving away from TVR for 2006, what does the future hold?

Yet again it seems another great team has decided to look elsewhere due to ongoing problems.

Are there ANY factory plans for racing involvement, I somehow doubt it?

A sad day. :(

They do indeed, four of the seven if I recall.

Only one of the remaining three is still active witn Peninsula.

CDL???


Mrs Hui
CDL was Bert Taylor's team, who then went in with Gareth Evans to become Chamberlain-Synergy etc

LNT gave it a damn good go though.
They certainly did, as have others before.

Why is it so painful to be a TVR follower at times when the company does itself no favours?

Why do we stick with them?!

Sell the Cerbera, sell a kidney, sell some of your house, find £99,950 and take it to Racing Green. A nice man will remove it from your sticky paw and hand you the keys to a lovely Mosler MT900S. Nice. Go on - it even has gull-wing doors.


Hmm let me see.

Not selling the Cerbera, only have one kidney TO sell, so not such a good idea , sold some of my
house already, oh and my wife and my 10 year old daughter would both throw the mother of eppy fits if
I bought a sports car with only two seats!

So, 911 996 Turbo it is then.

However, the Mosler is a lovely looking car and I'd love to test one one day.
