My brother in law is an engineer who ended up working at Ford for a while but some of his mates did placements at TVR, they loved it it there! This was largely down to their concepts being designed and a prototype manufactured within a matter of days and placed on the car and tested. Where my brother in law at Ford might come up with an idea which was then passed up the food chain, discussed, discussed a bit more, eventually prototypes might be made and it would get tested to an inch of its life and might get on a car two years later. Obviously TVR was a bit more of a cottage industry but having been a passenger in a Tuscan S I can honestly say it was the fastest thing I've been in. Some of its design was a work of art and a feast on the eyes. Good luck, I'll certainly be keeping tabs on your journey.
