And after months of uncertainty over the future of the much-loved speedsters, there were smiles all round when more than 400 TVRs gracefully paraded along the Promenade on Saturday.
The event, organised by the TVR Car Club in conjunction with the TVR factory, included a timeline of members' cars showing the development of TVR from its roots in 1947 right up to the present day.

Yesterday the Bristol Avenue factory opened its doors to club members for what could be the last time, following the announcement that the company is moving to new premises on Squires Gate Lane, South Shore.
Sunday also saw a parade of more than 400 TVRs for the Dave Cumming Memorial Rumble in memory of the company's former general manager who died from cancer in May this year.
TVR Car Club spokesman Ralph Dodds said: "We would like to thank the people of Blackpool who made us feel so welcome. There must have been around 6,000 people looking round the cars on Saturday. It's brilliant news that TVR is staying in Blackpool.

"We know there are some new cars coming out and they will be at the motor show in London next week."
On Saturday TVR revealed that it is reinstating 63 laid off workers from today after a surge in sales.
