Adam Burdette told me the same joke in May 2007. It was hilarious then too.

Not read all the posts, but I always thought for reasons unbeknown to me, TVR's didnt meet US standards.

Thats you can get generally get them, but didn't the new owner of TVR going to address this problem?

I believe they had to get some sort of dispensation to film "Swordfish" with TVR's.

Sorry for not updating sooner. Many other things to tend to.

The car is being readied and will post pics of the conversion when it is all complete, around the end of december.

After that i will let you know when and where you can view the car in the US.

How many manhours will be put into this conversion? (of one car)
What model is currently being transformed?

I'm sure this would be more viable just importing RHD.
The mark up on a car at a "cars to the stars" type dealership is huge.

I hope your friends pricing includes "leaving a little for the next man"

The first car (Sagaris) will take around 8 weeks to complete all work, refresh the body and check chassis etc. BUT once the first car is done any following Sagaris and T350 will have a turnaround of 2-3 weeks before they can be shipped.

We looked at doing RHD but most clients that can afford it are actually put off by having a RHD car.

The markup/rebate is usually around 10% for the dealer.

There is a dealer rebate/margin available as 99% of the sales are done through dealers. We offer escrow for buyers aswell as lease programs
