Ben's back?

[Mr.Chips]

Hi Guys,
Just surfing the net and seeing how the remaining companies that make up the British Car industry are doing, when I decided to have a look and see if Bristol have been saved. Was pleasantly surprised to find that they have been taken over by Frazer-Nash group, which has historic links with Bristol. What does this have to do with TVR, well simply that if you want any more information, the person you need to contact is a Mr. Ben Samuelson! Is this the same Ben from TVR, or is it just a coincidence?

I think it is the same, as the contact for Bristol cars is Ben from Samuelson Wylie Associates and their website states Ben used to head PR for TVR.

I'm not sure Ben was born when the naked women appeared on the 3000M or whatever it was?

And I certainly wasn't.

Let's just hope he doesn't start racing them

1971 was the year.... I was 9

Edited to add.

As an aside Ben has just bought an Tuscan II convertible.

I met Ben a couple of times, and even had the pleasure of being driven around down town Sebring in a LHD Tuscan Speed Six by him. I know some people had issues with his style, But he always seemed really enthusiastic about TVR and the Cars, I expected to se him back in the motor industry at some point... Racing mmm yes there is a reason they called him 5 bonnets

Met Ben last year at GFoS, he was looking after the Bristol stand then. Seemed like a top bloke.

Most unhelpful bloke I've met (after trying to sort out my 3rd Speed Six engine rebuild)

Are you sure, I thought you were older than me.
Please check your birth certificate.
I have fitted the G-y pink valve covers today and do not care if people take the p--s.
Had to be careful with the gay bit, might get banned or the police knocking on my door for not being politically correct.

Not to suggest he's not a top bloke down the pub or round a track etc., but akin to an ostrich in the face of a problem in my limited experience.

What are you, the spelling police.

Doing what he was paid to.

I always got on OK with him, but then I moved away from TVR in 2000 just before all the Speed Six issues started to arise.

Yup. We patrol around here.

You missed out the '?'.

[Boosted LS1]

It's probably 'Who are you'? Hmm, I need to think about this one.

[tonys]

Who or what?? The things that get discussed on here are fascinating. Who are you? - I'm Joe Bloggs. What are you? - I'm a TVR. Maybe. Maybe not.
