What point are you trying to make?
Ginetta may not sell in huge numbers but it has survived for a long time.
Caterham is no different to TVR in brand terms, it's another small niche player, its also survived for a long time.
Ultima being a kit car dose not change their sale figures. A fully built car may well be comparable to TVR in who it is likely to appeal to, a kit car arguably has less mass appeal so on balance their success is encouraging.
The Kirkham cobra is a top end replica with hand formed ally bodywork. If someone can can sell kits in this price bracket then it is very encouaging for a new TVR.
Ariel too have been going for a while and are very niche in appeal.

A new Tuscan would be comparable in appeal and build to many of these and arguably have more mass appeal than a kit or a more extreme niche product like the Ariel.

In other words, if there is room for Ariel, Ultima and kirkham they why not for a fully built car pitched at a similar sort of customer?
If these companies can survive on such products then why not TVR?

Where you may be right is that they are all doomed, that some day they will be unable to invest in what the future will require. But if you, or anyone else, actually wants a workable plan to bring TVR back I think my plan is the way to do it.

Good lord that's pretty.

When no one can get any debt and anyone with money is suddenly prudent.

Bumpity bump bump,

Ok obviously I'm going to win the euromillions jackpot tomorrow, and when I do I shall be making nikolai smolensky an offer which he probably won't refuse. So what I was thinking, £50 million put aside as start up money should mean enough to build up the infrastructure and develop a car similar to the Tuscan, I would probably go with the Speed Six engine, obviously I would speak with the likes of TVR Power, RG, Str8six to help develop the engines to be reliable.

The car will be slightly more expensive the original Tuscan S6 but will be built to a higher quality and will be much more reliable. Using the Speed Six would mean that while it cost more than using an LSx engine, it would be TVR rather than a fiberglass body with an american engine thrown in.

The choice of chassis would be a slightly more difficult choice, would it be best to stick with what we know and build it on a steel tubular chassis, which if that is what I were to do would be galvanized to ensure that it didn't rust. The other, more expensive option would be to build using a Carbon Fiber monocoque, which would be a hell of a lot more expensive than the tubular chassis with a fiberglass body mounted, and although likely not viable at start up could be an option in the future when the price of the technology decreases.

The equipment level would be good with most items fitted standard, interiors would obviously be leather and the whole car could be customised to individual spec within reason (things like colour choice, interior choice, wheels, cd or satnav, etc) obviously it wouldn't be viable to offer more than one or two engine choices (e.g. 3.6 Speed Six, 4.0 Speed Six,) which would be more likely offered as different spec levels,(e.g. Tuscan, Tuscan S,etc...) another possibility would be a lightweight version which would be pretty basic inside, but have lightweight bucket seats, a full roll cage (the normal cars would be designed to withstand a roll over through the use of a simple rollover bar), lightweight wheels, body panels etc and would likely be sold as (I'm just using "Tuscan as an example") as the Tuscan RS.

And finally I would find out what current TVR owners wanted from the cars, e.g. maintaining the same raw driving experience, a simple ABS/TC/SC system; all of which could be completely disabled if the driver chooses to do so, better build quality, better reliability, similar pricing to the originals, etc. As stated previously, I believe this would be achievable with a start up cost of around £50 million.
