New TVR still under wraps! (Vol. 2)
Discussion
to be fair 
Looks like Les is keeping himself busy while we wait for the updates. You'd think he would be mega busy trying to launch the new car but always seems to have time for other pastimes along with a hotel and golf course.

Wonder what this company is all about then?
Oh, I know, its for helicopter servicing........

I see Les has just registered another company, EDG4R&CO LTD.
Preparation for a pre-pack?
Just kidding. I'm sure it's completely unconnected.

@ V6Pushfit - yep, that's where I got the idea of helicopter servicing
@Unrep - oh yes, I did see your post. No harm in bouncing it though.
On top of the car manufacturing, the golf course and the hotel forgot to mention his farm. The poor chap's obviously far too busy to put out updates.

The fact the Gordon Murray CBE post came a week after the event, pretty much indicates TVR is a sideline for those involved. It’s starting to look like best endeavours stuff.
If there was really anything to say they’d flood out the doubting posts for pics of progress and activity going on.

er, how can the CEO of a car company "not know" when the production of his only car will start?
Ok, he might not be exactly clear when it will start, but surely there is some sort of plan, with at the very least, so estimated dates penciled in to allow the process planers to, er, process plan?

I can see how your misunderstand came about. He's CEO of a sponsorship business, a pitch-up with a stand at selected events business, offer helicopter rides business and maybe even a design-a-car business (although that was contracted out); but a car business it's not. A car business might....well, you know...make cars....

Well I think we’ve really hit a period of stall here.
In reflection this is a shame. There was opportunity here to resurrect a brand which generated various emotions, but importantly excitement.
I can remember as a teen in the late 90’s driving around with my dad and saying “quick look, Cerbera”. A couple of years later in the early naughties on the way back from university it was “quick check it out a Tuscan”.
They looked great and sounded unique. It was The uks young Ferrari. They’re the antithesis of the new car. Which looks hum drum and in person sounds like a rowdy flock of pigeons, where they’ve separated the exhaust on a big standard cross plane engine.
They needed to do something to regenerate that excitement but as of now it’s not this incarnation of TVR. Maybe they’d be better of selling.
Like it or loathe it if you stuck a TVR badge on the new Ginetta akula it’d look like a TVR. You could stick a Ginetta badge on the new TVR and believe it was the latest Ginetta. There’s something wrong there.
