not sure if this will work, so checking!
www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/default.asp?storyId=13827

YAY! it worked!

So, i'm posting this on hear as its Silverstone power...ex silverstone TVR that are doing this.
Basically, they've branched into the Marcos brand, coz of the very superb TSo GT2 recently released. I'll be going up to see them, and possible have a go which i'm really looking forward to.

There is another member of PH involved and needless to say they are ALL ardent TVR fans and this is another string to the bow...not a move away.

Hope to see some of you there, suffice to say my interest is not finacially based (I wish!) but just of someone who knows the people involved and that they do a terrific job. The fact that they have a base at Silverstone and will be able to check/test cars on track to those who are into that kind of thing IS ENTIRELY ACADEMIC!!!

Nice one guys...see you next weekend!

Fabulous looking car BTW!

A-ha, drove past on tuesday and caught sight of an Orange TSO in the showroom - also the green Tusc on their web site. I thought it was a Marcos but was thinking to myself hmm, unlikely as the site there has always been a 2nd hand outlet but now it all makes sense!

My Cerb's in at SP at the moment having some new Steve Heath drop links and a sports zorst so I'll be along to have a good nose around the Marcos too when I pick her up.

Echo your comments about the team there too - top blokes - I wish them every success.

I understand that Phil James (aka bosscerbera) has some involvement, and also Gary sims (aka Focused) will be displaying some of his work

It would be great if some more pistonheaders turned up to show their support

very impressive showroom and workshop, and all the staff were friendly and chatty.

some very nice cars there too, the black Tamora sp looked gorgeous

thanks for making us feel welcome, even when my 2 little girls started becoming little horrors and running around and eating all the cakes


If anyone is thinking of going down, then you must, its worth a look, and the pictures on the wall were superb taken by our own resident PH photographer Gary Sims (Focused) and if you are going take a look at the black cerb pic on the wall on the right as you go in....thats ours

All the best to those involved. Very impressive set-up and servicing just round the corner. Can't believe it ! Do we get the Marcos as a courtesy car ?
Speaking to Matt (Hi Matt !) there is a plan do those wheels for the Chim and Griff.

Indeed there is. They'll be ready to order in the next week or two for all TVRs Griff onwards.
