I take your point, but I suppose they weren't comparing like for like so had to choose 1 sports car.
The t350c was compared with the older Noble in a previous show and they were undecided which they preferred. So, as the new Noble is better than the old and they haven't had the chance to review any new TVR models since the t350 then it was a rational choice.
TVR's got a mention by a member of the audience too and they commented that they were fine cars.

They did also say that a TVR would be MORE reliable than MG's new SV - TVR, reliable? Are they finally getting bored with the joke?....

Was it? I thought it was in-design before BMW took over?

Yes it was. In fact BMW allowed access to the parts bin for the suspension and hence the Z axle at the back. However, the rest of the car is pretty much a UK designed and built.

Rumour has it that the current Rovers rolling off the production line are better built than BMW's - and that really cheeses off ze Germans.... we can do it, but as with everything else - only if we are forced to...

Lmao this whole thing again, just cos they don't say your car is great the program automatically becomes 'shit' 'rubbish' 'outrageous' 'pish' Just go on any internet BBS to see the same. Scoobynet, GTR owners club etc etc.

Just realise its a good watch and nobody who hasn't got a TVR doesn't particulary care.

Better built as they've had 10 years to perfect putting that switchgear in!

Roll on the 45 replacement..... That'll show MG for what they are worth and good luck to them. They deserve a break.
