Greetham Car Show, Leicestershire August 2018

TVR Convoy from our workshops and general blast on the country roads

Starting at just before 5pm we took off from the workshops and blasted along the country roads into the heart of the Rutland and Leicestershire countryside, landing at the event at about 5.30pm

It’s a well organised affair and a far cry from the old favourite in our region of Ashby Foville, which became so big with over 5000 vehicles it got banned by the emergency services and the local police force with Police helicopters often following sportscars home!

 

Let’s hope this stays a decent size as the array of vehicles was spot on, both old and new.

Great summertime car event, up and coming in the village of Greetham, Leicestershire and [...]

A Update from TVR on their new TVR Griffith

Dear All
So, what’s been going on?

As well as working on the new TVR Griffith, we nipped over to Le Mans with the Rebellion TVR and won the non-hybrid class (3rd and 4th overall, and despite a slightly eventful start to the race!), which made us very proud and smiley indeed. The mules have been busy testing at Dunsfold (the Top Gear test track) and other circuits, the Demonstrator Prototype (DP1) has been shown at Le Mans, Burghley, Silverstone and Beaulieu. It has also been driven on track extensively, with tweaks to various aspects, not least gearing, finessing what is already an incredible car straight out of the box. More on that in a later part of this update.

 

We’ve not made any secret [...]

TVR Engineering Factory Test Car

1996 N Reg, TVR Cerbera 4200cc V8 in Formula Red

One of our side projects out and about for a shakedown in the sunshine

A great project for us all at the workshop to be involved in and it’s great to see TVR’s test car from the mid 1990’s back on the road with attitude.

Fancy a trip to the dark side?

911 Classic Air Cooled

Well couldn’t find the radiator or the engine in this one, but it still managed a straight MOT pass without any advisories at 87000 miles.

Getting a full Porsche service before its leaves us by the same guy who has worked on it for the past 20 years, known very well in Stuttgart by the manufacturer!

To be fair to the jerries, they knew how to build an air cooled Porsche in 1996, with these expected to be a all time German classic in the air cooled form.

With only 462 miles in the last year this car is due some fun some time soon.

We have known this example since 2002 and it’s been better looked after than even the last owner would admit!
