TVR back at Bristol ave??

[ekim]

Does anyone know what is going on back at the old tvr factory, There is a lot of tvrs about outside in the week and there has been rumours of a company setting up there called tvr development. Is this just an indipendant factory or something to do with Smolenski and the barn he has with TVR on it near the motorway?

Doubtful that it's Smolenski, Peter Wheeler still owns the site and their are a number of TVR related independants who have rented premises on the site.

PW has rather cheekily called it the 'TVR Business Park'

Businesses in there are

Surface and Design
D&C Trim
Lawfield Engineering
Mike Vernon Automtive
JGR Racing
Fred Tonge's Company building the GTR 'Sagaris'
and a motorcycle resoration company run by an ex worker
(sorry can't remember the name as I haven't spoken to them yet)

Suilven RDE and a few other non TVR related companies.
I was in the TVR tool room last week and all the old vertical millers and lathes are still there and still be used. The flat bed for chassis jigs is also there... it was like an Alladins cave.... found a few classic TVRs but dare not post the pics I think Mr. Wheeler would be a bit upset, 'cos they're his....

Mine was one outside this week...
