Richard Hammond Visits TVR 

I have never seen a sales rep admit their product breaks down and has problems. That is amazing because I still want a TVR.

When I saw the first salesman in the video my heart went out to him because I just knew that people were going to be saying cruel things about him and he's kind of an easy target. I find it amazing how quickly people jump on the opportunity to personally attack someone based on some tiny quirk or perceived weakness in their personality. Oh so you're all perfect, with the body of Brad Pitt and a few car dealerships of your own are you? What did the guy do wrong to deserve such a harsh criticism? It just baffles me how people race to hurt someone's feelings to make someone else feel better. I am willing to bet you all have insecurities of your own that we could all sit back and pick apart. I think you all see yourselves in him and you hate yourselves, so you must hate him. Pretty sad.

This salesman really doesn't know what to do with his hands.

That salesmen has interesting body proportions.

Fuck me, the sales man, what has he been snorting??? Hands everywhere and Simon Cowell waistline trousers...............

Ooh men and motors channel, cars during the day, porn at night. Best. Channel. Ever!

lol at the TVR salesman at 02:15, I think his feet are stuck in the cement. lololol and there's another one at 06:05, I think he's stuck too. They must be growing them in there....

The salesman was just ultra nervous. He didn't know how to hold himself, and worse still, didn't know what to say. He panicked a bit.

I really miss TVR.

The TVR Chimaera 4.5 is the best car ever made. Incredibly fast, but can carry 2 people and a serious amount of luggage, handles like a maniac, luxurious to sit in and not expensive. Yeah, they can leak a bit but they are very reliable (if you service them properly). I will be buried in mine - my son has just pulled in to the drive - what an incredible noise!

The salesman is high as fuck, what did he took?

6:31. Who let Boris Johnson work for TVR?

That salesman's pants are so high... maybe he's pulling that face and acting weird because he's got the worlds worst wedgie on camera

Classic TVR at 7:33 - brake light out on one side hah!

Did you ever realize that the worse a brand performs the more banners they show on hier walls. Particularly in the US. You will not find a single German auto maker with a German banner pinned to the wall of their factory or showroom.

TVR. The most beautiful cars ever made. Too bad they never really made it to the states. I’d have probably had one.

That salesman lol

Love little Richard as a short chick myself

If only TVR were sold in the US 😢.

What a SACRILEGE ! A bloody new beetle VW next to a racing TVR.... !

Interesting but a great shame that the original inventor/designer, a lovely man called Trevor Wilkinson didnt get a mention. He made them up in his workshop in Blackpool in the 60's and 70's. As well as TVRs he also made street sweepers barrows!!!! Not a lot of people know that.....

“This is the new speed six engine” ha if only they knew what they were in for

Why is Julian from TVR clenching his fists?

is the salesman really working for TVR or the competition - Benny Hill comes to mind - Love TVR though!

Hammond is nailing the 90’s look - massive single colour heavy shirt? Check. White/cream jeans? Check. Short back and side with plenty of dax wax? Check.

Why is there a BF109 german fighter plane hanging up in the TVR garage?

Peter BIG PANTS !!

TVR has some unique color which other manufacter don't have Especially,when they introduce Tuscan,the color went insanely unique and rare,and then T350C,Tamora,and then Tuscan Full Spec,otherwise call "Sagaris"

He moves like a puppet.

The V8 Cerbera is and will always be my favorite sports car. A 2+2 coupe with a strong engine, rear-wheel-drive, not a safety feature in sight, an amazing-looking interior and exterior design.

tvr nicest interior hands down

I've learned as an american ex-pat living in england that most english people have achieved their amazing body structure through centuries of selective in-breeding.

Pride of the town TVR was. Shame they went out of business and dropped off the map as if no-one ever heard of them. I'd love for the freshly-revived TVR to open a factory back up in Blackpool again. I mean, who wouldn't want to build cars for a living? Sounds like fun

that intro is hilarious

Awesome car, the first salesman seemed stressed being interviewed by a idiot hamster. He absolutely hated the lexus sc430. Fine, the tosser has no idea that different cars are loved by different people. I believe he thinks too much about putting things down before really looking into them.

What does TVR stand for…

I wish the Cerbera was shorter...it’s beautiful from the front and rear, but that side profile is too much..the hood line and the enormous doors detract from a mythical machine....that straight six sounds incredible

Richard's hair looked a lot better back then

When will they come back again ? at that same place ?

These other comments do not remember 20 years ago...

wow that shirt trouser combo is more wild than the speed12

Thats keeping well within the 2 metres distance precaution at around 2.30 ....☺

But, but...those massive pants...

3:39 wait hold up they got the flag the wrong way around

The Cerbera actually is everything I wanted the Evora to be!

Not to mention the trousers!

That first salesman looked like he wanted to box

I want the Cerbera 4.5 to be the hearse that carries my coffin to my funeral.

i think making lefthand drives with metric system would help them quite a lot ! i ve never seen a left hand drive tvr here in germany .. only right hand ones

i saw this video i felt pretty cool

Are TVR not dead, did production not stop 10 years ago?

How can people with such bad suits design such awesome cars? :)

That sales man is stuck to the ground with super glue!

TVR is the Chad of the car world Airbags? ABS? Sophisticated suspension? No need for that nerd shit. Big engine go vroom And that madness is what makes TVR who they are

if i ever win the lottery i will have a TVR ... I'm a crazy person...it shall be a 65 Griffith

Richard Hammond visits TVR, BTW (Before Teeth Whitener).

To me tvrs are the coolest exotic cars. And to me the one to buy is a sagaris or a Tuscan 2.

Could julian from sales get those chinos any higher?

@2:40 ight, who stole his lunch money cuz reazy to scrap..

The Main showroom looks like my old Scout Hut!

I did wonder where Hammond started. So it was Men and Motors. Cool.

Gu

Cracking NA engines that speed 6 is the greatest i6 of all time

TVR the High Point of cars

These Salesmen are straight out of the Fast Show and the Office

Jazz hands n funky pants !

LOL at the salesman "Our customers will come in here and have a coffee, they come here with niggles, but they enjoy the atmosphere, they enjoy the whole thing, its really good, non of that puts them off" Not sure many other car manufacturers would have such a care free attitude to after care. No wonder TVR have such a bad rep. Still great looking cars, I wish they would have made them reliable, might still be in business.

GRATE CARS

i like richard hammond on top gear a lot more....

Why that sales man look funny?

What year was this?

I wish these presenters would leave out the snide remarks like "there's none of the switchgear that came from out of a family hatchback", which is basically saying it's not taken from a Ford donor car and isn't some shoddy kit car. There's nothing wrong with parts from other cars fitted to a kit car, and with a kit car you can always customised it to your liking, over a period of time if you're buget isn't alot. Contrary to the myth these shows have us beleive, very few of us can afford any thing other than a kit car. There are some really good kits from old Ford donors and running gears. Hammand makes 28 grand for a TVR sound cheap when in fact it certainly isn't and not to many many people. I've probably only ever seen half a dozen TVR's on the road, which isn't surprising with a petrol gussling 4 or 5 litre engine, not to mention availability of parts will be very hard to come by with the company now gone. I think the latter will likely put most people off from owning one, which is ashame as they are a great sportscar.

Only the British can love these Every one I have ever seen had something broken or had some major problem or did not run at all.

Salesman obviously took lessons from his tailor. Magnificent Sir! Never mind the quality, feel the ... actually don’t. I take it Sir is paying cash?

Adding hand-stitched leather in a TVR is like putting a pig in a tuxedo.

When I was in College in Florida in the late Eighties there was a dealer selling TVRs not far from the campus. I almost got to test drive one. I guess if I'd won the lottery back in those days I would have bought a Tasmin--but then I would have ruined it by getting a coupe with automatic transmission. Since the things basically had the same engine as a Ford Ranger pickup the upkeep would have been straightforward. But handling on those flat, slick and frequently wet streets might have been tricky for a young driver like me. The dealer in Florida was long gone when the Griffith debuted.

Richard Hammond is such a Bellend.

Absolute garbage at any price......................................

He almost crashes the game kart at the end there. That's even got to much power foe the hamster
