More TVR Dealers Wanted

Trade press reports that TVR is on the lookout for new outlets


Motor Trader magazine reported last week that TVR are looking for more UK dealers.

In a short report it said, "Sports car maker TVR has turned its back on PLCs and is looking to expand its dealer network through smaller family businesses. The company has already parted company with HR Owen and Sytner in the past two years and is shunning large groups in favour of small businesses because it believes they are more focused an professional."

TVR's Ben Samuelson is then quoted as saying "We are looking to appoint more dealers across the UK, and will look with interest at any business that has the enthusiasm and professionalism we are after. Dealers need to have a high level of focus on the marque, which tends to preclude the big PLCs."

Six new dealers were appointed in 2003.

Or to read between "Ben's lines" :

We don't like big dealers - as they are not afraid of us .. and they don't make enough profit to stay..

and we will now look at anyone as a dealer as we're a bit short of 'em !

A TVR main dealer must commit long term. They must be prepared to invest, not only in the product, but also in their client base. Their advice must be fair and un-compromised and they should relish in the opportunity to see their existing clients return time after time to progress their involvement in TVR ownership.

220 ....No.6 does have a point there...but this new handle HAWTHORNS_TVR is only just a recent 1 is it not....or has it been out of use for some reason?

Recently hasn't it just been hawthorns....or 29, now 220 of course....as u are no longer rightly able to use that name.

To whom it may concern.....
G'day fellow Pistonheads,
Can TVR extract the digit and have a go DOWN UNDER (in Australia ) ???? There is a huge untapped market down here for their cars becuse at the moment the two major Car Makers ( FORD and HOLDEN) are having a "HORSEPOWER WAR " on the showroom floors across Australia !!! TVR'S products would offer an alternative in the special vehicles market that has grown between our two major car makers !!! If you don't believe me go to Ford (Aust)and/or Holden Special vehicles on the net and check out the battle going on !!! If any one of the members would like to pass this on or contact me personally you can do so on

I like the Texan, but how do you format him?

As to the main comment, you're bang to rights on the £1.99 sunglasses, but I got em at Boots, the ciggy however is a sobrane cocktail or passing cloud

oh, and I've changed the posting name or whatever you call it, got rid of the TVR bit, so now it's true to life
