U wot m8? That Russian, Nikolai Smolenski, is nothing whatsoever to do with this current venture? UK based Englishman Les Edgar of computer game fortune and Aston Martin racer has been the owner for a couple of years now. Cosworth Engineering and Gordon Murray of Macca F1 fame are also heavily involved too. A far more credible prospect than anything we've seen for a long long time. But you're right, they need to provide a lot more info on it before reasonably expecting a worthwhile number of people to plonk a 5 grand deposit down. Hoping to see that info in due course...

As much as I love TVR, I do not have blind faith, which is what is being asked for here, well not to the tune of £5k. For the £5k are you a contributer to the start up capital and hence a share holder or something, what happens when they change their mind in 12 months time will they do a Phoenix. Too many variables At this stage for my liking.
Like any sane man I'd like to see something more tangible for my money before I would commit. I'm also expecting a mail shot, having registered an interest on their web site, have I missed that or am I expecting too much.
Also a bit of clarity on what the £2.5k discount to current TVRCC members is, I am a lapsed member after many years subscription and if I thought I ended up paying more than a current member then out of principle I would not proceed. Seems a bit devisive to me, putting current club members ahead of long established owners who do not 'get' the club. I don't think I am alone in that?
I tend to agree on all points. As well as club members they should also include V5 holders. Like any sane man I'd like to see something more tangible for my money before I would commit.

Lots of 'Grouchos' own TVRs.
This is exactly what the problem was with TVR in the first place, half-ar**d press releases without proper facts and figures, I'd love to know who is going to put down a deposit based on the facts? Also, not every TVR enthusiast was or is a member of the club, doesn't mean they don't have the passion and enthusiasm for the brand.
