I've been watching this thread from the sidelines for the last few years. Firstly, my bet is that the prognosis is not good for TVR, too many signs of trouble, and at this rate the ICE will be outlawed before the Griff reaches customers.

Is Les reading this thread, of course he is. This place used to be a TVR forum. It is likely to be the largest online TVR community in the world. If he (and/or his team) aren't reading this then that is a serious lack of business acumen.

Les, if you're reading, two things I implore you to do:

1. Become a member of PH, and contribute to the bloody thread!! You are probably (rightfully so...) very wary of being lynched, but these people on this thread are one of the keys to if your business works, or fails dramatically. These people, in most instances, want TVR to happen, some may be able to HELP you make it happen. If he is reading, and if (by some miracle) take me up on the suggestion then please all, show some restraint. Don't be a lynch mob against him, worthy of him reaching for the Whiskey.

2. Listen to some of the well considered styling tweak suggestions posted across certain pages. I accept (and others should too IMO) that new TVR is never going to be another Sagaris, BUT at least let your customer base know that their thoughts are being considered! The aggressive white render, and the guy who posted renders (one in particular showing a subtle tweak to side creases) should be listened to in particular. Again, consider minor tweaks to how you could make the existing look more cohesive, EG different coloured inners to the headlights, or additions to the gob hole. I get that you have shown the car, this is what customers have bought in to, but consider - BMW, Mercedes and Audi are some of the worlds most successful car brands. Offering options has never harmed their business model.

Finally, all the best to TVR for 2019, please make it happen, if nothing more than to shut up all the naysayers on here!

Les seems a nice chap and I bet he is quite upset about us moaning constantly about the looks - but he is an adult and a businessman also, so if he is not pushing for the above, then he will only have himself to blame when TVR fails.

Happy New Year everyone.

If they were listened to and not just lynch mobbed then why not? Surely there's no bigger gathering of deposit holders anywhere else. Not suggesting a running commentary, simply updates and answering (some) serious questions etc.

How many people that have paid a deposit post here? To me this topic comes across as a social gathering that TVR would wish to keep well away from

It is the GMD wheel-spinning video. Posted by GMD on their Facebook page. Not sure any alternate sources exist.

If it helps. Try a PIV.

Cured damp in my garage completely. Cheap to run. Dehumidifier now retired.

Thanks for this. May work as a stop gap. How much did that cost you.

I have a PIV in my house. Completely cured my damp issues (condensation on windows and black mould in bathrooms and on some walls). Think it cost about £350 plus electrician at about £100. Easy to fit although a garage will need a loft area to house it.

Thanks, great.

Must be a bit older, the purple wrap was a while ago. It IS a cool car, that's easy to forget when hanging around here. Totally love the side view.

Edit:

There's also cool photo on their site:
