I am on a tour at the moment! So far done 1000 miles in 5 days. Today I was at Lands End and by Saturday afternoon I was thinking of stopping off in Blackpool on my way back to North East Scotland. I was wanting to see where the car was made. Does anybody know the old address?? Is there anything to see?

Bristol Avenue, FY2 0JF. Or just follow signs to the council tip, it's across the road.

Unless it has a lockup car park I wouldn't leave my TVR anywhere near Blackpool FC. There is a large public car park near the ground and the last time I was there a number of cars had been broken into. Some parts of Blackpool are rather ropey!

It's a bit out of Blackpool but I've stayed at The Cartford Inn www.thecartfordinn.co.uk which has nice rooms and excellent food. You will need to book as it is very popular.

I work at Surface & Design and will open up the shop if you would like a look at what is left of the old factory, not a lot though.
Email me your number or call S&D tomorrow on 01253595800 and ask for Malcolm.
