New TVR still under wraps!

What was wonderful about a new TVR was that it would be revealed at a Motor show in Autumn and be available in the dealers in the Spring.
I know the TVRs were all evolutions, and the early cars generally had a few issues/niggles, but this "new thing" is going to be dated by the time customer cars are available and I've no doubt the early cars will have their issues/niggles.
hmmm Griffith showed at 1990 motor show... delivered to customers in 1992 (a few late 1991) I know the TVRs were all evolutions, and the early cars generally had a few issues/niggles, but this "new thing" is going to be dated by the time customer cars are available and I've no doubt the early cars will have their issues/niggles.

Does anyone know what the next steps will be for deposit holders? Can't wait to see the car again, having not seen it since Goodwood. Do we just sit tight for the next 9 months or so?

I was wondering that too. Although depends how quick/ slow you were to put deposits down. I was slow so was previously quoted Autumn/ Winter 2018Joel
2 years from show appearence to first delivery in a situation where TVR had continous operations and the car was more an evolutionary development rather than a completely new thing - plus technical regulations to be met have evolved since the early 90s to give higher hurdles ... all in all challenging I think
One thing I noticed about the new car at the NEC was that there is a number plate on the rear (nice black and silver '1 TVR' plate) but no plate on the front.
Given that the styling of the front seams to be the most controversial, would the display prototype not have looked better with a number plate on the front?

I noticed that to. Seems they know it's a slight failing, that it looks better without one.Given that the styling of the front seams to be the most controversial, would the display prototype not have looked better with a number plate on the front?
Not sure plod would agree if you used the same logic.

They've managed to make it sound like a Harley Davidson. Very novel.
With that engine and firing order I think they need those pipes on the same side/face.
Sound was probably a bit misleading. Guess you need to be next to it to get the ambience, the camera-mic will likely not fully get it, making indeed not very V8-ish. Although it sounds pretty evil and the guy didn't even push it. It's rather loud (which is good), is there any chance it will sound like this AFTER passing the approval?With that engine and firing order I think they need those pipes on the same side/face.

edit: probably still de-catted/unfinished exhausts ?

Glad to see its a proper TVR .... the brake lights don't work! When I talked to Les at Goodwood, I had a mate with me that is high up in Johnson Matthey (who produce a lot of catalytic convertors for many manufacturers). When I intro'd him, Les said that a suitable cat solution was one of the things they were still working on for the car.
As to the weird sound, bear in mind that at low revs it will accentuate that you are only listening to tick over on 4 of the 8 cylinders.
