I suspect TVRs are like Lotuses - they burn well. Hopefully all were insured, but no doubt some of those cars are effectively irreplaceable. :-(

Indeed very sad. But they are "only cars" - no people harmed which is the key thing.

Is it just me or was that a really poor bit of writing / reporting?!

:withstupid
Not very accurate either reference to a red Boxter that's clearly a TVR.
Sad to read though, hope they get up and running again soon & that they are well insured and no one looses out.

Two griffs, a t350, a Tuscan, and the "450" is a Tasmin/280 wedge model, lesser value but still someone's P&J.

Horrid to see such a sight, the red Griff in particular looks rather special :cry:

Something similar to that happened to me whilst living in KL. I had the only M535i in the country. Also lost in that fire was my pals 635csi, a 911T, two P1800s, the garage owners M5. All though we were all insured not one of us got a bean. I left that country for good 9 months later.

Will find my pictures before and after... It's gutting, Mr Iain, there has been a fire...
