It says something of TVR's lasting appeal that over 250 deposits have already been taken for its
new sports car
in six weeks. This despite no information on what the car will look like or indeed even be named. Talk about a leap of faith!
When there is a new pic we'll use it!
But then the alliance of TVR with Gordon Murray Design and Cosworth is an exciting one, and a lot of people have already seen and heard enough potential to part with their cash. Chairman Les Esgar says it's "a heart-warming situation", and that more details will be revealed soon. He added: "To all our customers who have shown their faith I can promise that the new car will exceed expectations in every way."
Indeed, such is the level of demand that 2018 is now being quoted as a delivery date despite the new TVR set to first reach customers in 2017. TVR's Operations Director John Chasey says "initial volumes are limited" as the factory will increase production through 2017.
That's about it for now, with more announcements to be made in the coming weeks. Can we start suggesting names yet?
