i was out on the bike on my normal run in lancashire and spotted this sign which has appeared over night, i know for a fact it was'nt there a few weeks ago as i use this route quite a lot with a group of other bikers, just wondered if anyone can shed any light on this as its a stones throw from where martin lilley lives, i tried to get a few pics but could'nt get to close as its on private land, there was'nt anyone around to ask but i will keep an eye out to try and find more out

not sure mate, there is no other signage and its well hidden which is odd for a garage/specialist

That's the new top secret factory. Production is due to start in the next couple of months with a Sag variant.

Mr Lilley in charge, Tuscan / Vixen body, modern chassis, brakes and a Speed 6 under the bonnet = cloud9

Best car in the world!

Been past Automedon recently and all the signs have gone. Looks empty. I have heard that a new TVR garage has opened up on the industrial estate behind B & Q as you come off the M55 Blackpool. Could this be it. Maybe Automedon have moved!!!

Come on Martin if your reading this. Enough people want TVR back with Lilley involvement, he always was and still is a real enthusiast, Maybe he should strike up a partnership with Lawrence T !

Or in broad daylight come to that wink. Drove past it about 4 times on my first visit before the O/H spotted some Tivs hidden behind a hedge just outside Nowheresville, Oxon.
