The merger of two classic sports car businesses is about to start a new chapter in the development of a ‘new’ sportster. Classic World Racing – which specialises in race car preparation and race components – has merged with David Gerald TVR, the oldest TVR dealership in the country.

Mike Luck, who owns Redditch-based CWR, said: ‘This new partnership is an exciting development for both businesses and is especially good news for the next phase of our Titan project which was launched earlier this year.’ CWR completed the build of a race car based on a 1967 wide-bodied TVR Tuscan, after Mike discovered the original moulds to the car that had been lying untouched in a barn for 20 years.

The car was sold to a race client and Mike is now bringing forward his plans to launch a road-going version of the Titan. ‘The marketing expertise and customer base of David Gerald will really help us to increase our impetus in the build of the new car. The combined skills and resources of the two businesses have a lot to offer the classic sports car enthusiast and there has been a lot of interest in the retro looking sports car both from home and abroad,’ said Mike.
David Gerald TVR – previously based in Inkberrow, Worcestershire – will now relocate to CWR’s new 8,000sq.ft. facility in Redditch. The team will be announcing an open day for next spring, giving visitors an opportunity to take a look around the race shop and service centre, as well as seeing the Titan being built.
