BBC Top Gear Filming (TVR factory Blackpool)

[B9471845]

Good episode and a few nice tantalising glimpses of Tony's Mk2 in the final factory scene, although the detail shots would be lost on most of the TG demographic...Looking at the other cars, the Mk2 chrome wheel arch trim might be the single most expensive piece of chrome shown.! And on that bombshell...

I hadn't appreciated the Jenson Factory was still there

We should go and visit and get some pics for the Club Mag?

Is the TVR factory mothballed as it appeared - looks like part completed cars and tooling / moulds?

Fascinating episode

Tony's car was just stunning!!

Had a look at the episode this morning, interesting they started with a nice close-up of the SII Alpine.. the tiger seemed to get "bit" shots.. pan over the wheel, sunbeam V8 badge and then the 3/4 aerial as they went across the group.

tony asked for bit shots on his tiger so you cant see the bad door gaps and paintwork

Seeing the final result I can now appreciate all that time waiting and hanging around as nightime fell, as the crew wanted to get the natural evening lighting just right to get the closing affect they wanted. Must admit, there must have been a couple of dozen very very nice classics there and the positioning of the Tiger was lucky as it managed to get some nice panning shots - sure there will be a few owners who will be dissapointed with what little of the car will be shown. I know one lad with the Daimler Dart had driven it in the rain all the way from Brighton to be at the TVR factory.

Great pan of that SII Alpine, and it was a pleasure speaking to lots of other enthusiasts in a very incredible and surreal surrounding, would I do it again considering the end result....................course I would
