Today was a Sad day

[Jappo]

Had a meeting in Blackpool today. Hadn't planned to take the Sag but a puncture in my other car forced me to and, thankfully, the weather wasn't as bad as predicted. I had to take her back to her back home with me one last time, I can't describe the heartache:

Yep, another no smoking building. Damn namby pamby pinkos...But that aside, all agreed..

So what is the plan for TVR future? There are a few threads on here about this and nobody seems to know. The last press release on the TVR website was on the 9th August 2007, about a new supply chain partner. Is there really no hope for TVR to come back even with the current owner?

PS - Nice sag Jappo, I see you have a porsche in the collection, which do you prefer?

I prefer the Sag (quite simply the most enjoyable car I have ever owned, and I've owned 30 or so serious cars) but sadly both are for sale as I have some "temporary" financial tribulations to deal with.

Poignant images - it really is a bloody shame.

Is the JCB there ready to move in for the kill?

Very sad pictures I agree. Dripping with melancholy and desolation, and the car just begs so many questions. 1947-2007 indeed.

I do hope you ragged it as you left.

There are a couple of black lines, don't know how long they'll last.

I'm surprised no-one's been along to 'half-inch' that piece of glass above the door...

Nice pics. I did the same thing with my Chimaera - not something I'll forget in a hurry

There's still stuff going on in there, remember PW is working on projects and Surface & Design use the spray booth.

Most of you guys seem to have missed the sadness was heightened by the fact that Jappo is having to sell his Sag because of a 'temporary financial embarrassment' caused by HM Revenue & Customs.

My sympathy

Thanks for your sympathy guys, hopefully I will find a suitable Cerbie soon to lighten my mood. I can't live life without a Tiv in it.

Sorry to hear you're having to sell the Sagaris......
Will keeps eyes and ears open for a good Cerb.
