THE streets of London were brought to a standstill as hundreds of TVR cars descended on Whitehall in a last ditch attempt to save the doomed Blackpool company.
A staggering 479 of the sports cars - more than twice the number expected - joined a huge rally aimed at highlighting the demise of a British icon.
At one stage they parked three abreast in the heart of the capital as six workers from the Bispham factory handed over a petition to 10 Downing Street.
Tony Hodson, who was among 80 workers who took part in yesterday's parade travelling in the cars alongside their owners, said: "It has been absolutely awesome. It has been an historic day, a nostalgic day and a very emotional day and one that the workers will never forget."
