k off. Hey come on, the 3 TVR's that I owned post-2004 were actually bloody good cars and didn't cause many problems at all. Admittedly, earlier one's that I had were (in some cases) problematic, but I think by the launch of the Tuscan 2 and Sagaris, the cars were miles better. Unless of course, you want to believe the stories that people who have not owned one tell you
As for Halfords accessories, can't really say that I've noticed anything from that particular superstore, maybe a bit of 'Ford' stuff here and there, but again, towards the end more and more stuff was TVR specific.
Referring back to my initial comment on the people that run the company, they have completely lost all credibility (if they ever had any). The whole of the British motoring press and most existing TVR owners see them as a joke and a bunch of clowns/liars/losers/con-men (delete as applicable), which, when you see the picture of them at the recent 're-launch', you can understand why. They looked like a bunch of gormless fools that had just completed a 'supermarket sweep' in Top Man.

When I saw this;
I couldn't help but think of this;
Are they by any chance related? We should be told.

I disagree they'll be taken seriously when they start selling cars that don't go pop after 6 months and don't have Halfords accessories as standard
you started so well - but ruined it at the end.you should have left it at "they'll be taken seriously when they start selling cars" - maybe adding the word "again" at the end.

How to kill a niche car company very quicky:(in no particular order)
Adopt a slogan like 'Orgasmic Living'
Insist on using an engine that few people like or want
Put prices up and reliability down
Have no interest in the cars once they're out of the factory
Assume that loads of people will buy your cars
Issue press releases but never deliver
Bankrupt in no time, bingo!

I was at Brands Hatch last year doing a track day while Gumpart were doing a press day for the Apollo, I wasn't lucky enough to get a ride in it, but I was on the track with it, what a beast! The sound of those turbos was awesome, kind of breathless demonic growl as on top of the V8 noise, that blue monster was just carving its own sure footed path though the track day taffic like a knife though butter, very impressive.Jeez.....250,000 squids worth...........

As Richard Hamond said, the thing is designed to be a razor sharp track tool - function over style.

when it's a third of the price (roughly) and far better looking....That was the middle power version and it damned near wiped the floor on their track. Very impressive bit of kit and didn't look that ugly...imho
