TVRCC Back
Home 2006
Blackpool
Saturday
15th
- Sunday 16th
July 2006
We
would like
to thank all
TVRCC Members
who attended
Back Home 2006
for making
it one of the
most successful
Back Homes in
recent years.
Over
400 cars were
parked on the
promenade under
brilliant blue
skies. Demonstration
drives were made
by a wide range
of racing TVRs,
including the
Speed 12, an
assortment of
Tuscan Challenge
Racers and the 1962 Le Mans Grantura, freshly
back from successfully completing Le Mans Classic.
Over 600 members visited the factory on the Sunday,
and with over 250 TVRs rumbling through Blackpool
to close the event, it was truly memorable.

The
only aspect that spoiled an otherwise perfect
event was the evening function. We should like
to take this opportunity to allay any myths about
this. Unfortunately, our suppliers failed to
deliver our requirements. As soon as this was
apparent, they were invited to rectify the situation.
They were unable to do so to our satisfaction,
and therefore the club have offered a full refund
for the evening function to all members who attended
that part of the event. We are sorry for the
inconvenience caused to some members and are
in negotiation with the supplier to recover our
losses.The vast majority of members felt that
this did not spoil their enjoyment of what
has been described as one of the best Car Club
weekends for many years, enjoyed by many thousands
of club members, members of the public and
personnel from TVR, including the Managing
Director David Oxley, and the Owner, Nikolai
Smolenski. We would like to give a heartfelt
thanks to everybody involved in making this
stunning event possible.
