As someone who takes an interest in all things TVR and might one day take the plunge and buy one, the changes at TVR, apres Smolenski will be watched with great interest.

If i may, can I ask what the latest is?

Anyone taken delivery of a post-Russian TVR? Is there any difference?

And what of the dealers? Whats the latest there regarding new dealers and dealers getting canned?

From the perspective of a possible TVR buyer who is interested in whats going on there ( there must be a lot of us ! ) , whats the view of the TVR posse ?

I haven't seen any change with my dealer or the support from TVR.

Ermm. Mums moved offices, uniforms and fresh fruit for all.

Dad still pottering around in shorts.

Need to have a wander up there when I get a free moment.

What about the canteen - is he still getting the sarnies in?

On another thread it was mentioned that the quality of the cars has improved of late (and they'd changed the production line so that batches of the same model were being produced). If that's true I'd assume there were new processes introduced to ensure the new standards are met. Any truth in that?

How about the Oz testing of the new models?

Any news of a new factory in Blackpool?

Have just taken delivery of 350T, and 10 mls down the road speedo packed up, a very common fault. So no change there.! Also have had oil pressure sensor changed all within 24hrs.
To be honest I think it's gonna take at least 12 mths
to really see changes. When it comes to re-engineering components, that takes a long time to do and test.

I have a new T350 that I have had for 14 days and covered 1000 miles so we are just up for the first
service.

I have just returned to TVR from Noble and have had 4 TVR's in the past.

The only snagging issue to be resolved at the 1st service is a stick seat belt. The build quality on the car is quite frankly superb.

dj - yes he is still getting the food in.

As for anything else - not spoken to dad for a while, letting things settle in.

Was there this morning to drop off the Griff for a service.
They have had a bloody good tidy up in what yard areas I could see.
They haven't lost the nack of relieving me of my hard earned cash either.
