Pretty impressive for the price. Guess the legal side is same as the kit car industry.
Every picture they have if off the Internet, including the one of the red sagaris in the factory. Look closely and it’s clearly a pic taken in the original Blackpool TVR factory.....the TVR build sheet is clearly visible stuck on it. Also the technical specs are generic nonsense and written by someone with barely any understanding of automotive engineering.
This is so obviously a scam.

They are also saying that what is under the cover is just a clay Buck and won't be revealed, which I hadn't appreciated.
At least Les has found a new jacket.
I guess this is a decent indication that the 2017 delivery date will slip. At least Les has found a new jacket.
...but when is the earliest expected date now?

Aha! Sorry about that.
Seriously, noone knows, everyone waiting desperately for news (supposed to be out this week, according to LE (though someone else quoted LE with having said it would be out "hopefully" this week)). Last few updates were lacking a bit in the true-progress department, so talking about delivery of customer-cars is not warranted at this time.

You'll know when it lands because there will be a huge flurry of excited little boys all clamouring to be the first to tell us. 
What a bitter comment to make in a thread that is all about updates on the new car. Nothing as yet.
at the end of my post.If you read my posts and in the absence of anything by way of updates, info etc I have tried to provoke a response or two to help keep this thread alive. And always in a fun way. You need to lighten up
So, back again! Here is my latest take on matters-
The company is near out of cash and that includes the deposits being used up. This is perfectly legal and kind of expected with a start up. Additional financing has yet to materialize or we would have already heard the good news. There are issues with the welsh factory/ government so this sadly looks bleak. All this equals no cash and nowhere to build!
But here is the sweetener for deposit holders- I think Les is an extremely honorable and genuine chap but has just bitten off more than he can realistically handle. I have hunch he will now be thinking small scale production! Maybe even just satisfy the deposit holders / a smidge more. This then sheds a totally different light on residual values and demand. Deposit holders satisfied, TVR reborn and Les can go TVR racing at Lemans! Everyone comes away happy!
