New website active?

[pgmvveld]

There seems to be a new (official) website active: http://www.tvrmotors.eu/

[alex_gray255]

Yup, just saw the email announcing it. Had a quick look and they are offering To build new cars of the old ranges. Will look more later.

It's a skin of Power's offering via NS's license.

Shame about the unprofessional email addresses and phrases like 'check it out'. Makes it a little bit Tower Hamlets bedroom.

[alex_gray255]

True. Well, it's a start. Looks a tad home grown design though, but early days

There's a lot of mistakes on the website. And why is it in black and white?

[Moycie]

Just saw this too. New cars at a fixed price...will be interesting to see how this develops.

But....at least it makes a connection with the UK & European TVR club sites, and refers to TVR Power.

There was the article in Octane(?) earlier this year, effectively profiling what Dom could offer. I noticed that there was a shot of a Tuscan with an LS install. Wonder if this was an archive shot or one borrowed from the PH forums?

Hasn't Dom been offering this service for a while ? Will these be completely new cars or a re engineered overhauled ones ? Can't seem to get on the site on my phone.

[Mr MoJo]

Mmm Griff 620 sounds tempting !!

Websites is stating both options.

Who owns all the body moulds and stuff? The logo is an older rendition, does smolenski still own the most recent branding?

[900T-R]

I believe he does, but for some reason prefers the 50s art deco style logo (probably drawn by Trevor himself)...

I like the turn of phrase 'Tower Hamlets bedroom'. Very droll. And apposite.

So this is a smolenski enterprise?

[alex_gray255]

For the logo, I think the TVRCC club owns the (R)ights to the tramline ones and someone - guess who - didn't take to that too well and thus the new (old) logo was reborn.

From what I heard anyway... Won't vouch for its truthfulness however.

But still - early days - let's not get all negative about it. At least "something" is happening...

The club has trademark of the TVR "speedline logo" with car club through it for club purposes

I would hazard that it is NS at the top supplying the branding and rights etc and underneath it is 100% Power with the Belgian guys acting as continental sales and servicing.

[900T-R]

Indeed, I'd hazard a guess that Dom is mostly (or wholly) the driving force behind this.

[Dodgey_Rog]

Who knows anything about these;



Not sure about the look of this, hopefully the finished article will be a little more aggressive?

[DonkeyApple]

Looks like NS' Typhoon design altered to fit a Tuscan convertible chassis.
