New TVR still under wraps!
Discussion
Here's an old fart's observation ....
Normally, when any soon-to-be-produced new car is being prepared, there will be dozens, if not scores of prototypes out there building up mileage, undergoing legislative tests, crash tests, emission tests, sorting out the handling, and so much more.
In this case, is there any evidence that there is more than one new-model TVR out there, has one ever been seen on the road, has anything approaching endurance running taken place, or even a check made to see if it leaks in a rainstorm ?
Because, if not, the single car everyone else seems to be raving about can surely be no more than a mock-up ? And has three years of static exhibition been a complete waste of time ?

Seriously? Dozens of prototypes? For a company planning to produce 500 cars?

....but if the development job is to be done properly by TVR, as opposed to 'the customer', it will take at least two years, if not more, for the entire process to be completed.
How many deposit owners, out there, have the patience to go waiting ?
I can see where you've made your mistake. You're confusing whatever "TVR" is with a real car company. How many deposit owners, out there, have the patience to go waiting ?

How many development cars did the McLaren F1 have. a handful.
same with Mercedes McLaren SLR..
whilst Jaguar had several hundred I-paces out there. - TVR only need a handful, only one car needed for crash testing now, as so much has been modelled.

But for me...Nothing beats Sa Calobra.
Whichever way you attack it..there’s at least 3 Cat-1 climbs to do before you descend 10k of the ‘MOIST’ deeelishusssss hairpins
And the same 10k Cat-1 climb BACK UP to get back OUT !!!
Then another hour or so. to get back home.
ECSTACY !!!!
