TVR...Bling..??

[bridgdav]

I attended my Golf Club Dinner Dance on Saturday...

When Jackets were excused I noticed a couple of gents sporting CUFFLINKS with their car manufacturers on them - Alfa / Audi....

What I thought would be nice is to have some with the TVR logo...So that I could subtley show what distinguished gentlemen we are amongst lesser type owners...

I have trawled through a google search to no avail...

Has anybody seen such TVR Bling...???
Any ideas where to get some..??

???? How Left??

Leven Technology have just launched a range of them. Resin dome type with the model name.

Not sure if they're on their website yet but worth a phone call.

IIRC they are model names... and do not include the "S"...

Gauche, n. [F.] 1. Left handed; hence, awkward; clumsy.

There is something sinister about all this anti left-handed prejudice.

Sinister... from Latin sinister, on the left...

Indeed. Whatever. They're not cool. To most people they don't say: 'I've got one parked outside', they say: 'I'd love a real one but all I can afford is these cufflinks'.

I'm wearing mine as we speak, in Sterling Silver.

Pretty sure Mrs N17 TVR got them for me via the main TVR website or the TVRCC

[luca brazzi]

Just knocked a picture together and , wonder if Ted will put it on screen for me, as I am unable to while at work....I'd certainly want a pair, what do others think???

PH Smilie cufflinks....

standby.....

[Morgala]

next you'll all be wearing the tvr-blazoned jackets.

didn't think that Alan Partridge would drive a TVR

[jigs]

Would they work as ear-rings or nose-studs?

[burriana500]

Whilst I agree that the TVR ones are a bit unsubtle, the ones from Leven are VERY nice and very subtle silver with a deep blue oval and Griffith (or whatever model... except S apparently) in silver script on the blue background.

I wouldn't wear the TVR ones but I wore the Leven ones the other day with a blue pinstripe and they looked very smart and unassuming - one of the girls at the meeting later said, "have you got a TVR by any chance?" then told me she'd seen her friend in a purple Griff only that morning!

I wore a pair at my wedding and wore them again at BTaP '03. Don't recall anyone having a problem with them.

I don't think TVR cufflinks are in the same league as people who casually throw down their Ferrari-keyfobbed keys on the bar at a pub. Personally I think they're discrete enough that only an enthusiast for the marque would wear them. And at the end of the day, what does it matter if they are a future owner, a current owner or a former owner?

Well at the end of the day its personal taste, and what makes you happy. Still wouldn't touch them with a bargepole though...

Did once see in a little shop in Fulham little silver cufflinks meant (I think) to be Jag E-types but had ended up looking more like little silver Griffs. Might have to see if I can hunt those down actually...
