Brundles favourite car was the 550 - until he wrote it off in Northampton somewhere.... |

Hi Mark
They have indeed lost a few. TVR was lost around 6 months ago. It is funny really, having the TVR dealership and driving a 360 Modena.

The Brundle family have run car dealerships for years, in the earlier years funding MB's racing career, they used to be a TVR dealer and many others but lost some recently, they are I believe already Maserati authorised

Wouldn't that be mostly a name-licensing deal? I don't know about the UK, but in the US it's not uncommon for athletes to buy dealerships and put their name on them. |

Wasn't "Martin Brundle" Jeff Goldblum's character's name in the remake of "The Fly"? |

Hi All
I have heard that Martin Brundle is to open a Ferrari dealership in East Anglia. Has anyone heard this?
Thanks
