I thoroughly enjoyed the factory tour this morning typically English in that they produce such an awesome product from tatty old brick and tin sheds...The electrical installation needs sorting as well (I could have pulled it to bits)...
The best part for me was reading all the workers innuendo's and graffiti "orgasmic dart board" had me in stitches and the "Wanking Cupboard" in the corner of the body prep shop was absolute class
Good luck in the New Factory peeps because you deserve it!
A very happy Supes..

And oh yes - great day (and weekend)..

It amazes me how they create such beautiful machinery there, and all by hand.

I enjoyed playing spot the new factory on the google photos of Russia in the paint shop doorway.

Being in the trade I too noticed the state of the electrical installation. Not exactly tested and inspected to latest regs. Anyway they will not be in there much longer.

we also enjoyed the factory tour but are gutted that we missed the "wanking cupboard" Cheers to all the guys and girls at TVR for taking the time to show us lot around. Top job!

I got to tour the factory with David Oxley. He struck me as honest,open and committed to TVRs future; a top bloke. Capped off a superb 'back home' weekend. Well done to the TVRCC team and the factory.

Thanks for the TVR CC for organising a factory tour with TVR - it was great to see the factory before it moves up the road.

With the dreadful traffic in Blackpool - I'm more than happy they are moving..
