Description: Welcome to the West Yorkshire region of the TVR Car Club We meet every third Sunday of every month at 12pm at the address above. The TVR Car Club is the club for everyone interested in the TVR marque world-wide. Founded in London in 1962 by a small band of enthusiasts, the Club has grown to become one of the premier one-marque car clubs in the UK with a membership of over 6000 and affiliated clubs around the world. We are a Club run by and for our members, and aim to provide something for everyone interested in TVR, whether you own one of the earliest pre-Grantura models or the last Sagaris or Typhon to leave Bristol Avenue, or if you are simply enthusiastic about the marque. We aim to promote all things TVR. As soon as you mention the phrase 'Car Club', it often conjures up the image of middle aged men in tweed caps, puffing on pipes with their head under the bonnet in pub car parks. Well we do some of that (perhaps not the tweed caps and pipes) with 50 regional meetings spread across all four corners of the UK, but we also do much more besides. We have always argued that with the performance available in any TVR, it cannot be fully exploited on the public highway so we give our members the opportunity to drive on the race circuit at our various track days. We support TVRs in Motorsport and a large TVR Car Club gathering always makes the annual pilgrimage to Le Mans in France every June for the '24 Heures du Mans'. bngWe aim to cater for the family by arranging informal social gatherings in pleasant surroundings. We organise a series of single and multi-model events around the country such as Big Northern Gathering (North East/West), Wedge Fest and Griff Growl (both Stratford upon Avon) and Gang on the Green (Wells) to name but a few and have regular visits to Blackpool to the historical home of TVR.  In recent years, following the sad closure of the Bristol Avenue factory in 2006, the guided tours of TVR Engineering Ltd are no longer available but we still visit the former factory site where there are now a wide range of TVR specialist companies, many owned and run by former TVR employees.  We always aim where possible for a large TVR parade along the promenade which in 2010 was undertaken under the lights of the illuminations.  Any suggestion that we stole the show from Robbie Williams who turned them on...are probably true! We assist members with proving provenance of older cars and proactively help the national motoring press with finding TVRs for magazine coverage. The vast majority of TVRs that are featured in articles in the motoring media are owned by Club members and are sourced through the TVRCC. Local region meetings are a great place to meet fellow TVR enthusiasts in informal surroundings. Each region has an elected Regional Organiser who is in contact with the TVRCC Committee and can provide up to date information on matters affecting club members. They are also responsible for organising local events which can take the form of: joint area meetings, visits to TVR dealers and attractions, activities such as karting, quad biking, displays at car shows etc. Regional club members are also usually the best source of local TVR related information such as the best parts prices, servicing deals or facilities and local second hand TVRs. You do not have to own a TVR to attend. In fact you will usually get a warm welcome if you are looking for a TVR as everyone will want to add their 'advice'!
