Which parts on a Cerb will be the hardest to source when the factory does move abroad. I know engine blocks are getting harder to find also heads?

All of them ! Can you honestly see Nicolai bothering to make sure spares for old TVR's are available, I think not.
However we live in a capitalist society, so someone will step in if theres a buck to be made, but they are going to be harder to get.

I know where your coming from. I was thinking more on the lines of making an alternative parts list. TVR out sourced a hell of a lot parts for their cars from small business's around England, so we need to find out where these parts were from ?? The company's they dealt with have nothing to lose now.

Surely it won't be too long before one of the people who are about to be laid off from the parts department in TVR will start up in business on their own supplying parts.

It's only logical that they do, as they are the ones with the knowledge of where the bits are coming from as it is.

Hang on guys, let's not kid ourselves the factory were helping much to supply parts when they were at Blackpool. For example, clutch anyone??

A number of independants have been having spares made up for years now to overcome the non-supply from the factory - maybe this will give it a boost??

It isn't going to make things better, but it would struggle to be much worse than its been at times.

Would think TVRparts.com would be on the trail. They have the rights for the older stuff already dont they.
