Got mine for Friday. I was planning on driving down from the North (M1/A1/M11) and picking up tube somewhere. Any recommendations where car-parking is going to be relatively straightforward?

From the M1 I would probably just come off at junction 5 and bomb down to the Watford ring road and dump the car in one of the lower high street car parks and walk 5 mins to the tube. Straight to Baker Street and then round to Sloane Sq or similar.

For the A1 then probably the Edgeware arm of the Northern Line not sure about parking though as its a Friday so all the parking enforcements to stop you parking and taking the tube for the day will be in force.

Personal preference would be Watford as it is just a couple of minutes off the motorway to be in a car park and a <5 min walk to the tube.

I don't know the day rates for parking but the bottom of Watford is full of car parks.

There is also Brent Cross at the bottom of the M1. Loads of parking and an easy enough walk to the Northern Line station.

I got my Tickets a couple of days ago. If your traveling down on the M1 , it might be easier to come off at Hemel Hemstead. Then follow signs to Chesham and park in the Station Car park ( Its £1.20 for a Sunday if booked on line with NCP ) . As suggested Watford ( £1.70) , but that Met station is in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately if you are travelling down Sat/Sun allow a lot of time on the Metropolitan Line because its been downgraded to stop at every single station into Baker street. I have also just checked, there isn't any Engineering Work that Weekend. smile

Umm tickets still not arrived, hope this is just the post office and not indicative of the new organisation. It's not as if I didn't reply to the offer straight away, I replied within 2 hours of receiving the email.

Tickets arrived today, thank fk. They were posted last Thursday, so much for first class mail. I note from the letter it hopes I've responded to a recent email questionnaire? Did I miss it?
Also if you look at the letterhead logo, I detect a possible glimpse of the front quarter, well eighth. Looks like the front of the bonnet drops into a recess like the Griff/Tam might be in store.

I have some insider information, which I believe to be wholly accurate.... Three new TVR's are: Tuscan III.. Coupe and convertible...
Grantura.. Coupe only and destined for the track..
And Chimaera, essentially a GT version of the Tuscan with slightly different styling and bigger boot..

In all seriousness, I hope to see the specs and a clay model, at the very least.
Helen Jones and Sue Shaw certainly knew how to distract attention from the car!
