Yes, a sad loss. Both the founder and the brand are now defunct

Not a bad innings considering prolonged exposure to TVR's.

85 is a grand age.
I hope the Hearse is not a TVR or he will never get there! I'm sure he would appreciate that little joke

You can hardly blame him for the last 20 years of TVR reliability, he left the company in 1962
RIP Trev.

The later engines are 100% better than the first Speed 6 engines.
i had a 2000 version.
7k rebuild.

Would that mean the engine would be rebuilt to the 2005-06 spec ?
