Saw it at the Motor Show - Totally convinced,couldn't resist it, can't actually lose, can't get anything better for the money... lot's of can'ts including getting into the bloody car at the Show cos it was deadlocked and the only way in was to unscrew the rear hatch...

Looking forward to two years+ of justifying the need and ever changing ideas regarding spec.....

The Options list mostly relates to 19" wheels and Tyres @ £10K !!!, performance diffs, paint finishes and stuff to make it a race car (or more race than road anyway....)

I believe they may ramp up production to two a month and there are about 55 orders so I reckon realistically it will be around 30 months....

Put my order in about 19 months ago and was expecting it round about now but can see it being another 12+ before finally taking delivery! Prime_al (who will have the first customer car) has waited over 3 years for his and it still ain't finished yet

Ah well, the best things...

edited to say: In the last couple of years I've noticed that work on the Typhon/T440R seems to virtually grind to a halt for a few months of the year with the race committments (Sebring, Le Mans, etc) so perhaps the 2 a month figure that TVR are quoting could be quite optimistic?
