Does anyone know who the STIG is???????
Went to motorshow yesterday, saw Ben Samuelson and he knows, but is sworn to secrecy apparently....
It's definately not Tiff Needell though.
Looking at the stand though, (1 Cerb, no chimaera), I think it looks obvious what is happening, ie no more V8s. The new range of cars looks set. ie Tamora, Tuscan and TxxxC. All with the straight 6! Also, the car (cut in half) round the back, is possibly the basis for a Le Mans car for next year.


To end on a high note, the stand is right next to the porsche stand, and on a couple of plasma screens on the TVR stand they were constantly replaying a segment of a forthcoming Top Gear show where JC reviews the Tamora. So he races a Boxster S, and absolutely creams it, going over the line, miles ahead, Jeremy is laughing his head off!!!!
Excellent!

I was stood watching that for about 10 mins, great stuff.......the expression on JC's face when he's about 5 miles in front on the Boxster S is priceless.

Can't wait for it to be on Top Gear........spread the word

I read on a recent post from someone who went to the motor show that the chimaera will for the time being still be built but to order only
