New TVR @ Motorshow 2004?

[hobo]

Will there be one ?

[cacatous]

Usually is...

According to Christof there will be!

Could be the Cerbera replacement?

[Plotloss]

Well we had the Sagaris at MPH03 so I doubt it...

Cerb replacement 2005 I reckon...

Would be great to see a more back to basics car from TVR something like the S for sub £25k.

It can't happen, it's impossible for them to compete with the likes of the S2000 and standard boxter IMHO

When is the motorshow?

May.

[matthewbinns]

Im not suggesting that they do try to compete with the S2000 or Boxster.

Have TVR honestly ever tried to compete with anything?

Thats the beauty, they do what they want, not what other people think they should.

I just think it would be great to see TVR's take on the 'budget' roadster.

[JakeR]

I'm with Matthewbins...

there'd be an order from me if they produced one...

doesnt need to compete with s2000 or Boxster...

just needs to look good, be light and have a ballsy engine.

26th May - 6th June

2.5 litre speed six, light as you like, rear wheel drive, 2 seats, cloth roof...

budget one make race series ala Caterham Challenge

[loud n proud]

I agree with JakeR. S2000 and Porksters are 0/3 on that score

[matthewbinns]

Come on PW, that gives you 74 days. Im sure you can knock us up something like in that amount of time.

My deposit is waiting.

[JakeR]

Sadly (for my budget), I think TVR are moving upmarket...something about building a £70k car takes about the same time as a £20k car. Would be nice tho...

[matthewbinns]

I can see it now, T350 front end, Tuscan rear, Tamora roof.

Costs can't have risen that much. The first griffs were low £20k's, The S even less.

[Plotloss]

When was the S release, early 80's

Wages alone have risen massively since then.

Hes after the 911 market, competing with Porsche and Caterham makes no sense at all...

Going after new markets is good but don't forget what put you where you are.

Property prices have doubled, beer prices have doubled, griff prices have nearly doubled, my wages have gone up much more than double
