TVR used GRP to great effect.

Debatable...

Oh come on. Even if you don’t like them you can see how dramatically styled some of them were compared to what else was around.

Like them? I owned two of them. The shapes were nice. The quality was shocking

I’ve got 2 and have had 6. I don’t see a problem with GRP.

I'm not arguing about it. I've moved on from TVR's.

I’ve never owned a TVR but looked at and been in plenty.
They never felt that bad from a bodywork quality perspective.

All my old Peugeot’s were delicate and a pain to work on, and expensive parts, but they were all great fun to drive for what they were.
Don’t confuse quality and cheapness with functionality and resultant fun.

Cheap and cheerful is a thing.

I’m sure GRP wasn’t the issue either, rather more the process TVR used was cheaper end of the spectrum, and rightly so.


Pagani are clearly catering for a specific market now, where it’s not just exotic materials used to enhance the engineering, but literally for their own arts sake.

It’s lovely that Mr Pagani can do this, as long as he’s still enjoying it and customers are happy, win win.
