The Hamster and Clarkson both love it......... apart perhaps from the oh so typical "it smells like a canoe factory in here".
350c versus Harrier and then track timed aside Noble, all from 2003.
If its an RP, tough I have an excuse - search is switched off today

Clarkson used to go shooting as a guest of Peter Wheeler and it is rumoured that something was said one day to upset Clarkson, ever since that day TVR became rubbish according to JC. The other 2 presenters, who are not from a motoring journalist background always just agree with JC, apart from when they fool around in such an "unscripted" manner.
Clarkson raved about the Cerb and used a Tuscan in some Speed programme or other and seemed very happy about it.
It is a shame that such bad press caused a huge problem for TVRs image. Yes, there were engine problems that needed addressing, but Wheeler was trying to shake of the kit car label that was still being unfairly used by some by manufacturing as much of the car as possible in house. With better press, perhaps the order books would have been more full and some of the deposit money could have been used in solving some of the speed 6 engine problems.
Still, who cares, I love mine and it has been upgraded to 4.3 with a 5yr warranty, which is better than you can expect from any of the other sports car makers for more money and less looks or performance!
