Team Central which used to be in Kingstanding not Central TVR in Stourbridge. We bought a Chimp off Paul Knight who is shown with the Tuscan, then saw the light.
Ian Flux took me out in a Griff at 100mph sideways down some side streets - aboslutely shat myself and was white one second and purple the next when I got back. What an experience. Pretty sure he was Tuscan champion driving for TC at the time.

Use to drive past the central tvr dealers years back and drool and dream about the cars there,pretty local to where my girlfriend, now wife used to live so I knew the area well .....funny old world as it turns out.

I think i'm right in saying when Team Central folded both Adrian and Andy moved to form Central TVR in Stourbridge so there is a connection between the two.

Hammond looks young because he was compared to now - filmed before he was a presenter on Top Gear. Salesman is fun - looks very uncomfortable.....

So, not only annoying but a two faced little st Too.

Quite ...he wasn't so complimentary about tvr towards the end of its existence.

This is what I noted too,

I just couldn't believe how much he seemed to like it in the video compared to how he's changed his tune now!

I also couldn't help but notice that he barely paused for breath for the first few minutes!
