"TVR looks at Welsh move"

Interesting article in today's Western Mail:-

http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/0300bu

"It is understood that the company has identified Wales as a potential alternative site. It is further understood that company executives have held initial discussions with Assembly officials over a relocation to South Wales."

Be pretty good for me for whenever I go home to my parents' in Port Talbot! Can't see it happening though....

They'll get loads of Government grants if they choose to move to North Wales...and the locals will just be glad of the work.

All that "come home to a real fire" business stopped years ago, thank goodness. Y Meibion Glyndwr are a lot less active on that sort of front these days.

How ironic, performance cars built in Brunstroms back yard. It's worth it for that alone

it has to be said that TVR are getting a huge amount of free publicity from this episode. Sure, it's focussed on a crisis, but there are also plenty of comments saying things like "original designs", "high-performance", bang-for-you-buck stuff and pictures of the models. If TVR weather the storm, I suspect they will benefit to some extent from their raised profile. Cliche time: there's no such thing as bad publicity.
