TVR is back...

Been story after story about this for ages, but it was just going to be a generic car, designed and built somewhere cheap. However now that certainly should not be the case (part owned and design lead by Gordon Murray, Engine designed and built by Cosworth) but anyway...
forget the headlines, this is what impressed me most...

Our stock of original parts comprises a mix of what was left in the stores after the Blackpool factory closed, together with stock from OEMs that originally supplied products for the old cars. Where such parts no longer exist, TVR has opened its archives and authorised the use of its extensive library of technical drawings to facilitate the remanufacture of replacement parts guaranteed to match, or exceed, the performance defined by the original specifications.

TVR Parts is fully licensed by TVR as the exclusive supplier of TVR Genuine Parts worldwide. In addition, we have granted TVR Parts access to our own archives including the factory’s comprehensive databases of models and part numbers going back decades, so ensuring a solid knowledge base and future support for the TVR community.

Now THAT is how to re-launch a marque and re-engage your fan base.

Wish other manufacturers would do likewise

Soichiro would turn in his grave if he knew what the bean counters are now doing with back parts catalogues.

I filmed Les Edgar, the new owner of TVR, the other week at a TVR event my mate organised, and he seemed like a decent bloke. There was certainly lots of support from the TVR enthusiasts, with one bloke about to put down a £5000 deposit on the new car without anyone having any idea what it will be like.
