So if that all went to plan work on the site should have started in January or February.
Its not quite like that in the building game, but by now there should have been some sort of update on the factory, rough timescales for production, and any other news about procurement.Maybe there’s only so much forum downer BS that Les can put up with. After skimming the first few thousand posts of this thread he probably decided not to waste energy trying to placate the implacable and instead continue to quietly get on with the job at hand. As delays were encountered, he found himself even less enthused to pass on the news.
But I suppose that only applies to the ‘general population’ of PH. Those with deposits are owed an explanation.

I think your second paragraph is the double blind test that disproves the first....But I suppose that only applies to the ‘general population’ of PH. Those with deposits are owed an explanation.
Which is what I asked, and we will probably never know.
Never mind starting work on the factory, the car is already out of date and they haven't built a road going one yet. Even a shed in Blackpool would have done much better than this. They at least made the Tuscan for the challenge series. They didn't need to put stickers on Rebellion cars, they actually went racing.

I have a build slot of between 151 and 200 for a launch edition Griffith and am considering passing it on to someone else who is anxious to jump the queue. As I'm a TVRCC member it's a £2,500 deposit and am open to offers. PM me if you are genuinely interested please.
You will get your £2.5k back from TVR.Unless of course you think you can sell it for more and make a bit of money from a fellow enthusiast

I realise I can get the deposit back but it would be nicer for someone to gain from my initial commitment and subsequent patience! Unless of course you think you can sell it for more and make a bit of money from a fellow enthusiast

I've sold my slot to another club member in France, it wasn't to make money but him to be inserted in the middle of the line.Unless of course you think you can sell it for more and make a bit of money from a fellow enthusiast

Spent the afternoon with GM (who completed their part in Nov 2017). Good news, it's a bloody great car to drive and he has a deposit one one. Bad news... some way off yet. Not allowed to give any details I'm afraid.
That’s news though. By implying it’s still happening you have single handedly trumped the total of TVR’s own marketing machine in a post on PH. Well done.Edited by GetCarter on Saturday 20th April 18:29

My understanding is that the GMD part of the project was to deliver a working prototype and the necessary design and production data to enable the vehicle to be "productionised".Given that Nov 2017 is getting on for 18 months ago, what has been done, engineering wise, and by whom, since? Making a single hand build, not-off-tools, not-off-process prototype is laughably easy compared to the really, really hard slog in them making the car fit for volume (even low volume) production. On a typical OE project, the productionisation and certification would have a budget around 100 times that of the prototype build, and sure, TVR aren't going to meet full OE standards or requirements, but it's still a massive, massive amount of work to get from the prototype to customer cars, so my question stands, who's doing that bit??

Absolutely bang on the money in my experience to.
