NOBODY WILL RECEIVE A TVR

I’ll be amazed if a TVR customer takes delivery in 2019. As it stands, TVR still has to source 25% of the parts for its new Griffith and the factory is apparently seven months delayed owing to unforeseen paperwork difficulties. This wouldn’t be a problem if nobody had been shown the car yet and a load of deposits hadn’t been taken for it. While in some ways it’s great to see a project evolve, ultimately I prefer the Ariel route: ‘Here’s our new car. It’s finished. We start building next week. Want to buy one?’
