Whilst 'grazing the internet' I stumbled across a fantastic TVR video from an old Top Gear episode (warning contains Mr Clarkson) summarising the history of the marque.

Hope this isn't a repost! I did have a quick scan before hand!

Anyway here are the links.. enjoy.

It would be awful if the original quality, full length version of this was to make its way onto piratebay or somewhere similar wink

Very enjoyable nostalgia in a painful sort of way. Not seen before so thanks! What was the pale yellow model in the centre of the group at the end of reel 4? Are there any roadgoing examples of this?

I think I have this on video at home somewhere.

When I get back I'll have a dig around and see if I can find the copy. It may take some time though as i'm currently out of the UK.

I've got this on Video somewhere too.
But I also found it on the internet to download last year.
Unfortunately it is corrupted for some reason.
I will try to find it again and let you know where to find it.

Are there any high-res images around? I was looking for a project for 2008 and I have a plan. Any idea what they sourced those rear lights from?
