Spotted TVR Lorry

[Nick_Chim]

My other half passed a TVR lorry on the M6 - Southbound near J24 today - someone's new Saggy/Tuscan 2/T350 is on the way!!

[2 Smokin Barrels]

..about £150,000 load methinks.

Any idea how much an artic of cigarettes is worth?

(I don't know the answer by the way)

[2 Smokin Barrels]

..could it be as much as a couple of million quid?

[Nick_Chim]

... to the taxman!!

Almost as much as an Optimax tanker

[2 Smokin Barrels]

If a trailer is 12m long, 3m high & 2.5m wide

And a box of fags is say 10cm by 8cm by 2cm and costs a fiver.....

And the fags fill 75% of the space...

Can somebody do the sums?

(I can't believe my answer!)

£2,109,375

Saw them last week at the factory Claire, parked side by side. They looked magnificent. What a colour!

Photo please!!!!

The colour is Purple Pearl. TVR sent the paint to the ppl who made the trucks so they could be painted properly as they were being assembled.

The company are ones that build the trailers for the Ferrari GP team.

I got shown them 4 times in an hour when I was at the factory the other week.

Dad - Have you seen my trucks
Me - Yes,

Dad - Did I show you my new trucks (cue another tour)
Me - Yes about 20 mins ago

Dad - Did you see this on the trucks..? (cue another tour)
Me - *sigh* yes Dad

Dad - Ohhh it can do this (cue yet another tour)
Me - Very good Dad - can we go inside as its pissing it down.
Dad - oh well do you like my Trucks...

Me - *SCREAM*

I've seen lorries hauling TVR's on the M6 a few times but they've always been the type that are open. Erm, I'm not sure of the correct term, but they car hauling lorry-type that has a bunch of ramps and you can see the cars. And none of them have been purple either.

Dads new truck arrive about 3 weeks ago.
They look more blue in that pic but they are painted the offical TVR colour.
