TVR had a test driver,I recall he was an amateur rally driver, Tony Brunskill
Just googled him. he wont be doing any test driving for a while

Sat next to a guy a few years ago on Emirates from Manila to Gatwick
Played a few games of chess to while the hours away
He had a TVR Cerberra 3 litre. Had photos of club meets
I recall he had the reg C300 OCC spaced as C 3000CC
Interesting chat, that journey passed like a 2 hour hour bus run
