New TVR still under wraps!

[RedSpike66]

Plenty of time to get my finances in place then 👍
Does anyone know how it works with respect to a deposit holder 'committing' to purschase once full spec and options and price is confirmed ???
Does one have to provide an addition to the original deposit or no further funds required until delivery date ??

I don't believe the "firm commitment date" has been set (but I may be wrong) and I did overhear Les telling a lady at my reveal session that they would not be asking for further funds pre-build completion and purchase.

With the public launch in September, does anyone have an idea which event that could possibly be ? I was hoping for IAA in Frankfurt as i live nearby, but Les said it would be a bigger event in England, if i recall correctly.

Goodwood revival? 8-10 Sept

Frankfurt motorshow, or the Classic car show in Nov?

Ah yes, Goodwood Revival makes sense. Frankfurt is unfortunately off the table as he said it would be England. And i think September was mentioned so the Classic Car Show (in Birmingham, i presume ?) doesn't fit either. Or it would be an TVR-only event, but that's pretty unlikely imo.

Could be at the Goodwood FOS that's Q3.....just.

If they have an ounce of sense, they have to run at least a prototype up the hill at this years GFOS.

Maximum exposure. But high risk.

Its a revival of the brand... Goodwood Revival make sense to me...

Doesn't have to be a timed run. Just some showboating will do the trick.

Loud engines / smoking tyres are so 'standard' at FOS (because race cars!) that I wouldn't be impressed by show boating. Therefore I agree its not worth the risk while launching the new TVR.
I'd be happy with a nice static display until Les says its ready! I saw the Chiron go up the hill last year (without any show boating) and it was an absolute highlight for me!

Cool, i only realized by accident that this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhQFp82JAng

from the London Motorshow is actually a 360 degree video and that you can change view-direction by left-clicking and then moving the mouse inside the window or when viewed on a mobile by simply turning around or pointing it up/down.

Gives a bit better impression of the car than a still.

Anyone?

Just lurking, but slow news flow indeed.

But on question: i know you UK guys are not that concerned with EU-regulation anymore , but until it's through we're still in the same camp (and i guess TVR will always have to comply). Does anyone have a clue which impact the new EURO 6c standard will have ? The engine is not a DI, so it shouldn't change that much in regards to particle emission, but even plain EURO 6 is still a serious thing as a lot more components than just the engine need to work in synch. Does SSTA help with regards to emissions ?

[bullittmcqueen]

Are there any depositeers from Germany ? I'm thinking about how to best set up a strategy for hedging the fx-risk for the trade.

Worrying lack of viewers saying how much they loved it.

I know they can't say anything specific about it but have they also been banned from voicing an opinion.
Loved it.
Hate it.

That NDA sure seems to be working well.
