You can tell that it is a TVR, built in a shed by the "shutlines" between the pieces of wood (panels). Audi would never allow that out of the factory!
So, firstly LucyP I cannot believe you used the A word on a TVR forum. Secondly, it may have been built in a shed (although actually it was the kitchen), but it wasn't designed in a pub (not been near one for over two weeks now....). Also, no glue was used in the making of this product, As for the shut lines, I can assure you the finished article was subject to a rigorous quality control process!

OK the last bit isn't true.. But it was appraised for its structural integrity, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

If anyone is interested in acquiring a new TVR (currently only model available) please do contact me. I'm doing a special offer for the remainder of this month, you can have one of these beauties for the greatly reduced price of £350.56 (RRP £425.00)

And remember, Christmas isn't far away!
If it does not smell of GRP then I'm not interested.

Big thanks to madbadger smile

I will make a prediction that this is the only TVR produced this year.
A trifle harsh Rev, could be a good little earner for the charity, LE run of 10, secured by a £1k deposit, delivery time to be announced shortly etc. (manufacturing optional at this stage) wink

Add two panels of carbon fiber and you have an i-stream structure.

I assume that the bottom shelf also serves as a chassis outrigger. It sticks out from the main bodywork quite a lot. That is bound to suffer from damage! Has it been powder coated properly? Will it be possible to replace it without taking the body off?!

If only CoG were here to advise on a suitable bitumastic coating for it ...and to state how much better it would be running on gas.

Long lasting (as in forever) overpowering aroma of polyester resin can be applied for an additional £14.99, and essence of (concentrated) carpet glue for a mere £7.30.

Hello Max, yes it has biggrin

Unbelievably though, I've not as yet had a single enquiry.... I'm wondering if the price point is too low scratchchin

Actually, 'price point' is one of those expressions that make me cringe... here's a few more...

Re-purpose
Up-scaling
Third age

I'm pretty sure none of these expressions existed when I was a kid....

Any more out there?

Leveraging! an American hateful word derived from "Lever" ; to gain advantage (by usual means of mechanical ratio)
Leverage is then advantage using the lever,
then I think Leveraging is the act of using leverage(?) which I think is really just using a lever.........

Surely the correct word word is LEVERING !!!! ???????????

Bah

Had a good day yesterday.

Washed and polished the car. Dropped the roof and went for a lovely drive around the Surrey Hills and surrounding area. Kept the radio off of course, didn’t want any of that Covid nonsense spoiling the day. Returned home to a cup of real coffee and some brownies made by my wife.

Since when did brownies come into our everyday life! Back in the day, Brownies were small girls in brown uniforms that did good deeds, (hopefully).

I’m sure they, (the edible variety) came in from America, slipped into the shops with hardly anyone noticing and suddenly became mainstream! FFS!

Try a different PR 'platform' and then 'double down' on the price point to avoid further issues or challenges, works well for Trump smile

The car is currently at Goodwood. Not sure if it will feature on the ITV4 show that’s about to air at 2pm.

Will that be on some sort of catch up?

I don’t know. I assume that being ITV it will be available on their OD service.

No idea if the car is featured, just that it’s down there.

Find the a Goodwood fb page and you have hours of great racing footage. This weeks speed week in place of the revival is mega.

No spectators so for the first time in decades there is a shoot out trying beat the outright lap record which I think Stirling Moss might of had until today. A 70/80’s F1 car blitzed round and beat it earlier.
