not the best video around naff sound
and stops the history in in late 1980 no mention of S Series or chimera or griff(except for a five minute bit tapped on the end) and a 12 minute section on the new cars

most of it was about zolda
the factory bit was interesting though

Well, I got the 'Best of British' DVD for Chrissy and have to say thoroughly enjoyed it. It is easy to pick holes but I have no complaints. We'd all like more but where to find it?? A while ago someone mentioned that the BBC production celebrating 50 years of TVR(least I think that's what it was) was better. Anyone know if this is available anywhere or a copy obtainable from the beeb?

Cheers

As most people will have seen these on Topgear. I maybe wasting my time...but here are another 3 DVDs.

Clarkson shoot out DVD has a small piece about the T350.

Clarkson no limits - has a Tamora and a 440R Road car.

The last is Topgear Back in the fast lane - the best of series one and two....now call me old fashioned but, if the only picture it shows on the back cover is a line up with a cerbera in...what do you expect inside?
Yep your right - no cerbera footage!!! Just a still photograph in the photo gallery...mmmm

It does however have the nice footage of the T350 playing with the harrier jump jet.

I think DVD is well worth watching but would have to agree about not capturing the TVR sound.
I got Le Mans 2003 also but haven't watched it yet.
Only just discovered TVR Bliss, definately captures the fun of driving a TVR, Nice one Ed

Or you could wait until February's Sprint comes out when space permitting, the TVRCC will be running a free competition to win some TVR DVDs.

Anyone with the "Best of British" DVD who doesn't like it want to sell it on?

I'd like to see it, but I don't think it's worth £13.

Makes me laugh this £13 is about 1/5th the price of a tank of Optimax or what I spend on a "test drive" after I've washed the car Not really thta much is it? Rich...

Well OK then, I'll buy it for £13. Just thought that if someone had watched it and wanted to sell it on then I'd get it a bit cheaper.

Look after the pennies...

Why not stand outside of Currys window for the rest of your life in the hope they might show it!
