During the 90's, I used to live close to the TVR centre just off the A1.
Lots of the City types went for test drives on a Saturday morning. You should have seen the look on the salesmens' and their potential customers faces [:0] when a standard looking TR7 (13" steel wheels then)kept pace with their demonstrators down the A1. Priceless. [:D]
Mine is still badged as a Canley 7 so it looks fairly stock until it's started up.
