All TVR enthusiasts are welcome to come and look around and meet the TrackVRoad crew: Craig, Ian, Richard, Steve and Mic plus many of their invited guests As members may be aware, Corin Denton offered his resignation from the Committee some months ago in order that he could concentrate on his responsibilities as Regional Organiser for Devon. At the time, he was persuaded to stay until the AGM in March in order to assist with planning for the 2008 national events programme. However, in spite of this, it was decided at Saturday�s (19th January 2008)Committee Meeting that it would be best if his efforts were focussed solely on his Regional responsibilities and therefore we have accepted his resignation from the Committee with immediate effect. Can you help with a logo for Chimfest 2008, Angus (the goose) would like to hear from any budding artist? An eye catching logo is needed for this years Chimfest to promote the event both online and in print, please contact the office for further details.
May we take this opportunity to wish a Happy New Year to all our members and TVR enthusiasts and to thank everyone who helped to make 2007 a TVR Diamond Jubilee to remember. But despite the success of the year just past, we are not resting on our laurels and we have an extensive programme of events for 2008 and plans for further improvements for the Club.
Some members may recall seeing a series of requests on our discussion forums last year asking for support to Peter Hingston, who was updating his previous work, 'Guide to Buying a Used Sports Car' which was first published over 25 years ago.We are pleased to report that the book is now complete and contains a number of TVRs from Grantura up to Tasmin, and is expected to be launched at the NEC Classic Car Show next month. Please note, this is not to be confused with "TVR - The Early Years" which is being rewritten by Peter Filby and is also expected to go on sale before Christmas. The Team Holden Sagaris AJP, driven by Andy Holden and Darren Dowling suffered a wheel bearing failure during Saturday's race when running in 7th place after qualifiyng 12th out of 54 cars. Today (Sunday), Andy started the car from the back of the grid of 54 before pitting in 17th place. After a very slow fuel stop, Darren continued the charge to finish the hour long race 6th overall and on the same lap as the DTM Audi that won the race. 2:33sec laps show how quick the car is and when one looks at the car's origins as a Tuscan Challenge Car this is an amazing tribute to all involved in the team. Well done to Team Holden! The Club has today received the following statement from Mr Al Melling: "It has been stated from various souces that Al Melling/Melling Group/MCD/Melling Sportscars have overseen engineering work carried out by Autocraft SVA and/or TVRCraft. "I wish it to be known this is completely untrue. "The above has never seen any of these items produced by these companies and at no time has any of the above personnel visited Autocraft SVA or TVRcraft. "Al Melling and associate companies will not be responsible for any advice or redesign of TVR engines unless specified in writing from Al Melling or Associate's drawing office." Thanks go to all those who contributed auction prizes and those who bid. We raised £1200 for the Hearing Dogs throughout the 2 days of BNG. Well done!
