You have hit the nail squarely on the head.

TVR have a competitive edge over every othe mainstream car maker.
Peter Wheeler.
One guy (six foot four so we can all fit in even wearing a helmet!) decides how the car should drive and ride.

No accountant, no styling commitee, no compromise. That's it.

He does listen to feedback though, well up to a point.
The original Tuscan was criticised for being "too soft" at the back (bottomed out oover big bumps), and steering "too fast" for the road. So they offered a "red rose" hadling package with 18" wheels and MORE power- now called the Tuscan S in essence.

You have to live with the steering though.

Who do Porsche listen to, after the shareholders.
Lets see, cupholders, aircon that works, endless audio options, wonderful interiors wheels and colours BUT no RS model.

Let's check those lottery numbers again. Where is Blackpool?
