New TVR Book, help needed
Discussion
Many of you will be aware of John Tipler and his excellent books detailing the history of TVR.
John is bringing one of his books up to date (the one with the V8S on the front) and it will be published by Haynes as a hardback.
In order to bring it bang up to date John needs some new ohotographs and he's asked us to assist in finding appropriate shots.
I don't think there's any dosh on offer (you can check that with John), but obviously credits would be put on all photos used.
Photos would need to be of sufficient quality to go into print. John is in need of pictures of the following:
- 4 shots of recent cars in-build at the factory,
- 6 race shots (I've put him in touch with some of the motorsport pro photographers for these)
- 7 from the '80s wedge era
- 6 miscellaneous from the current range
So, it's not a chance for fortune, but it is a chance to get either your photo or your car (or both) into one of the definitive tomes that documents TVR's history.
If you can help, please email John via [url]his profile |http://www.pistonheads.com/members/showProfile.asp?memberId=48384[/url] and let him know what you've got that you'd like to see in print.

The floodgates have opened!! I'd like to thank everyone who's reponded to my call for pictures, and no doubt, we'll have a much finer book as a result. It's been so good that we'll have to take another look at the new 'final chapter' and re-evaluate what to use. I'm away in Germany all week, so if anyone else has any contributions, please send direct to the unfortunate designer who doesn't know what's hit him - Graham Holmes,

Whew!!! It's been like a tsunami at the designer's office and the guy has been totally innundated with your images! Fantastic response, and I'm truly grateful. We've got way more than enough pix now, so regrettably, I'll have to say no more, please!
Thanks again! Hope the finished article will be appreciated.
