A shame the most popular model wasn't referred to by name, and only a fraction of a second of a display model front no plate saying 'Chimaera' indicated it existed.
Nevertheless, it was a positive (for once!) mention of the brand.

^^^^^^. Agreed, it was positive, he portrayed TVR as being innovative and exciting as opposed to pedantically stuck on developing a rear engined vehicle that never made ergonomic sense. I always thought it was a shame that the 928 didn't become the Porsche flagship model.
This's my two hap' worth anyway.

I couldn't work out what he meant by innovative. Generally this should mean new methods or advanced engineering? Can also mean original I guess. Innovative isn't a word I would apply to tvrs. Unique maybe.
I think he was contrasting TVR with Porche. The latter plugged away honing and perfecting one design for ages whereas TVR regularly came out with new designs.I know what you mean, in that every TVR was very similar under the skin but they did have ambition to move things forward on the engineering side too.
Unfortunately we all know what happened.
