TVR has this week announced the closure of its famous Blackpool factory where the last real British sports cars are built by hand - so now's the time to grab a piece of motoring history while you've got the chance.
The motoring industry has reacted with shock to the proposed closure and loss of 71 jobs with immediate effect, not least because the famous two-seaters now look set to be partly built abroad.
The fact that these stunning cars were completely hand-built in Britain has always been one of their major selling points so things aren't looking too bright for a company that's often been held up as one of the few British motoring success stories.
We give you all the angles on TVR's current line-up and tell you all you need to know if you're in the market for one of the last truly hand-built British sports cars ever to be made....
