Is the typhon still being made or has it been shelved for the time being. Smolenski's plan was to sort the existing cars before embarking on new models I thought. Was the typhon considered existing (it was at least in prototype form) or is it considered a new car. I'm sure the new owner will want to take tvr in a new direction at some point. But I hope the typhon makes it to production. I was hoping to get one eventually.

For that matter can you still get a t400/440r if you ask really nicely?

That's anybody's guess. Don't think anyone at the factory knows TBH, my local dealer is still waiting for feedback from them.

We had been told that a batch of 10 or so T440R's were possibly being built early this year and those who have a Typhon on order had the opportunity to get one of these rather than wait for a Typhon - but I haven't heard from them since.

Once the first customer car belonging to Prime Al has been (finally!) delivered , I hope the rest will start to flow. Don't know when that's likely to be though

Nope, you read me wrong, he's still waiting for it! No-one knows when it's due yet.
