TVR takes over 250 deposits in six weeks and announces that 2017 production of its new car is now sold out
Company press release.• In the first six weeks since TVR Cars announced that it will begin to take deposits on its exciting new car, the company announces that over 250 deposits have now been taken • Current order take already accounts for planned vehicle deliveries through 2017 • Company hugely encouraged by the staggering response to the announcement of its fabulous Gordon Murray engineered sports car August 2015: TVR is delighted to announce that it has taken in excess of 250 deposits for its new sports car in only the first six weeks since the company opened the order book. TVR first announced that it would go back into car production in June this year, revealing that it had an incredible, all-new sports car in an advanced stage of design and planning with its key partners, Gordon Murray Design and Cosworth Engineering. Four weeks later, the company began taking deposits as a result of the public reaction and obvious demand. John Chasey, Operations Director of TVR, says: 'We seem to be on something of a rollercoaster ride at the moment. We began to take deposits in June purely because we had so much clear demand and potential customers wanted to know when they could commit and when they might expect delivery. The new factory will be ramping up production during 2017 and therefore initial volumes are limited, but here we are only a few weeks later announcing this remarkable order take, so it's only fair to make potential customers aware that any new orders will now be delivered in early 2018.' Les Edgar, Chairman of TVR, says: 'This a heart-warming situation we find ourselves in. We are mindful that we have taken deposits from customers who have not even yet seen official pictures of the car. Nevertheless people have been prepared to part with a substantial sum on the basis of what we have been able to openly convey about the project, and on the strength of the partnerships that we have formed with Gordon Murray Design and Cosworth Engineering. We look forward to revealing more details soon, and to all our customers who have shown their faith I can promise that the new car will exceed expectations in every way.' Further announcements relating to the new car will be made in the coming weeks.
