There is so much bks spouted here. It doesn’t matter whether you are a deposit holder or not...
Hopefully they will succeed
We all love a noisy sports car
We love tvr
But it isn’t a looker
They are well behind schedule
Comms are crap
In a void people will speculate
The world is moving on
The end
Perfectly surmised

yup, amen to that :-)

luckily the old ones are still on the road or in repair or rebuild, and some are really dead, but I guess, most are still there somewhere, long live TVR :-)

How many in total are ever made?, so all in (except the new griffith one off)

And how many are still around, either on the road or in a shed sorned or out of sight, of course some are so far gone to be never heard of again, but I bet, most are still there.

Maybe there could be some little garage/workshop, that can buy up some old TVR's to remake them as or better then new again, their could be some small market for such.

It's just a shame that we can't speculate, gossip and poke fun at Newco without some posters coming over all precious because they have a vested interest in the project.

Just because you dropped £5/2.5k in what appears to be smoke and mirrors and allude to knowing something us mere mortals don't, doesn't, it really doesn't, make you more of a TVR fan than those of us that had/have Chimaeras, Griffs, Cerbs, etc.

I have never been a fan of RG but how were they in bed with them beyond them being a heritage ‘dealer’?
TVR parts ltd...
Oh of course. No idea what contractual and commercial arrangements they agreed between them. But assume that RG are less than delighted right now.

Was that the TVR Parts Ltd of Dulford Automotive fame?

They bought up containers of stuff from jigs to wheels to widgets...

That's pretty much exactly what it is! Seen it somewhere... maybe on UTube... it's owned by a pilot in the US, IIRC

Edit: Found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoBA1m9c4wg

Yes, although the price scares me a bit :-) but I guess that could come with such?

But also the older pre 80 models that are still in some old shed, waiting for a second or third new live :-)

If the state those old ones are in is 'bad' they could buy those for not to much and could be a bit more affordable, 95k is a lot, maybe some older basket cases could be offered like new with some modern suspension etc etc, for around 50 max 60k depending on say engine/conversion sort.

Some old pre 80's can maybe build up ala the Singer for Porsche, but then the 'Singer' for old TVR's (so also engine upgrades for the specials)

The first one has just heard the exhaust.
The middle one is looking at the front.
The one on the right sold his Apple shares to raise the deposit
