Driving to work this morning, I was passed by a TVR that was not being towed in any noticeable way.
It was on the M3 southbound, between junctions 5 and 6, around 7.45.
I'm just looking for verification that I haven't gone mad and started hallucinating.
Regards
Mike

Must have been the last surviving one. Don't tell Ted, he'll buy it.

An enthusiast who's probably put a Japanese engine in it.

in case you aren't aware, TVR may be on the way back.....http://tvr.co.uk/
someone I know works for a company that has been asked by Gordon Murray's company to price up a wiring loom for a new TVR
maybe that one that overtook Foul was a test bed for a new one?? new company is based near Dorking I believe
