Does anyone remember the "Trouble at the Top" programme about Reliant? Well the BBC are making one about TVR to shown soon. This follows the management as they sort out the factory. Peter Wheeler refused to be filmed.

Nik S. appaerently invited the BBC in. There is footage of PRW; but not much and nothing new.

This is to be a "walts and all" episode and follows Nik's hands on approach to sorting out all TVR's problems.

Strange for a man who doesn't like media coverage.

You sure you've got your facts right James? You've come up with some gold plated stories in the past which turned out to be penned by Hans Christian Anderson.

Like all companies with new management, the TVR company is going through a transition period. The proof is in the first new cars being delivered.

That may be so, but I don't think you answered the question....(or was it just me?)

Its not a case of trouble at the top, its a case of trouble under the bonnet.

Even if they had Sir John Harvey Jones telling them what to do, it wouldn't make a blind bloody bit of difference if they didn't sort out the S6 motor.

And if they did sort the motor out, then they simply need to indulge us with a bit of reassurance.

And then I'd buy one.

And so would hundreds of others.

Right on Pat
It is interesting to me how many others are now following this line of questioning about the new regime.

Moleskins shouldn't be taking a fat fee from the beeb, he should be talking to the TVRCC first... or is it just a case of doing what New Labour do...press first, parliament later!
