Had a great visit to the factory today. A big thank you to Danielle for spending so much time with us and for being able to answer all the questions.

It was great to see so many Tuscan 2's and Sagari on the assembly line. Everybody seemed very "up" and excited by the new cars and, contrary to some things posted here recently, very happy. Smiles and cheery hallo's were very much the order of the day from everyone we met. I have never felt so positive about TVR ownership as I do tonight.

I have more pics and will post them tomorrow. (The first couple are of my car so please forgive me the indulgence).

Thanks for posting those up unrepentant.

Good to hear some positives on the forum...I agree...far too much negativity lately.

Is it my imagination or is the factory so much tidier than the last time I went !!!


Is you Tusc Spectre Flair?

Thanks!

It's always great to see factory visit pics. I'm particularly excited because for all I know that titanium Sagaris is mine!!!!

Any more pics of it or other sag's would be very appreciated!

Glad to hear the factory upbeat. Let's hope the optimism spreads to ph!

Great pictures.
Don't suppose you saw a iced titamium Tuscan, probably just been painted. Due at end of March, so getting to the sleepless nights stage now

Can't afford one so I need to pretend I dont like them (I don't, honest!!). We should pick the Tamora up next week at Hexham and blinkers will be firmly installed so I don't catch site of their luverly red one and have my head turned.

Yep!

On the front having final fettling was a bright red Tam. Looked like it was all but ready to go.

I have a photo of an iced titanium T2 just back from paint and sitting on the assembly room floor. At first I thought it was mine (also iced T) which worried me a bit as mine is supposed to be ready next week! I'll post the photo later as it's still in the camera, which isn't here right now.

I got a call from HHC yesterday as soon as they had returned from the factory with the Sagaris.

I don't think they use their email too much, you'd probably be better off giving them a call.

No. I'm too mean to pay 2 grand for paint. It's Iced Titanium.
