Exactly my thoughts.

Thinking of sending a note to my editorial colleagues... But not sure how to word it without the use of the word c@+$s

'twas always thus.

I didn't go to Chatsworth this year, but judging by reports and photos in previous years, you would think the S didn't exist...

I was looking at the choice of gifts on the website, much the same.

I went for 5 years, and there was never any evidence that I was!

I was impressed to see so many pre-80's cars pictured - in fact Geoff's recently modified Taimar got 3 pics! Compared to the usual more selection of "modern" TVRs I thought that was progress...

But also sad to see no S pics frown

Looks like we have a PR mission for next year!

Correction to my earlier post - there are two, in the background of a couple of shots if you look very closely....Its all right, we are loved after all.

Perhaps its about the way we arrive. Should we all meet and park up at once - after proving we can make an entrance in some way, with our own photography / video etc

Or park one or two in each other model area, then we would definitely feature?

Perhap's it's that the S is such an iconic car, that people think they need permission to take a photo of it and are too shy to ask.laugh

Or it reminds them that the S gives more bang for your buck?

Not Sprint - but the East Mids TVRCC gallery does now have this pic

& this & this from Newark

+ this from Thoresby

+ this from Donington Classic

So many lovely S's - conclusive proof they're not invisible!
