Apparently, any of us (including me) thinking that TVR will
regroup and bring us these great individual sports cars again
can forget it !!!!

Production of the existing builds would never pass EU regulations
and it was a ticking bomb before it was closed down - finally....

Any opinions on this ? Cant believe it (or dont want to) myself !

How many people are there on PH who love TVR's?! Why dont we buy it from the russian and just get Peter Wheeler to come back. Then its owned by the people that love it, and run by the people that know how wink

Well that would raise about 3 grand .. and that would buy an 'S' .. not the company.

Even in the back of Topgear they dont include TVR in the car listings as its not producing anything at the moment! I used to love every month going straight to the back admiring the performance figures smile

They have 'westfields' why not TVR! BRING BACK TVR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm, bring back listings for Standard, Triumph, MG, Jensen, et al then rolleyes

TVR is history. If you own one, you own a finite resource.

I've been told there's people who want to resurrect TVR, but bellendski won't sell the rights to them. They are from abroad, but very much TVR enthusiasts.

I believe a few have made offers but have not got anywhere

I heard a rumour that the Sag will be relaunched when current warranty expires on the existing cars. The new SP6 head was completed 18 months ago apparently.
