Al Melling Plans to keep TVR British
Discussion
Maybe this would be a good place to build Mellings new sportscar. The TVR brand is strong, should help it sell.
I support anyone buying TVR with the intentions of producing real sports cars. If Al Melling (and a financial consortium?) buy TVR then they will get my support. If they release something suitably tasty in the coming years I'll be in the queue to buy one too.
As Derek said, if they did it right then countries such as Germany/Benelux would also be reasonable markets to target.
I don't care what Smolensky says/thinks/dreams he is going to do. They won't sell many 120k TVRs, especially if it starts to look like an Italian brand.
I even volunteer the consonants from my forename if the new TVR UK can't use the name TVR. Just call it TFR. Close enough

C) AM is watching this thread , if so,
Please Big Al , resurrect TVR , fit your V8 , sort SP6 , and develope your Hellcat V10 as a TVR and build the buggers in the UK ,preferably Blackpool , if not the N. West.
Imagine this body shape fitted with the V10
And the Tuscan 2 with the 24v V8

Tuscan V8 , I for one would definately buy one , find the money and buy one , it would be that simple , some cars have that affect ,this would be one of them.

Not if you import a chevy engine from the States, say from Americanspeed or the Enginefactory. You would get similar power for the same price but in Dollars and with the US$/£ rate close to 2, you'd be paying a little over half that amount in Sterling.
