Shock TVR news!
Discussion
Surprised at a journo like Cropley giving space to a no news story like that. So the earliest they expect to have a car is 2017, 12 years after the last one. In fairness there's a long list of British sports car companies that have risen from the dead after a long period lying dormant. There's umm.. Jensen. Oh hang on a minute that didn't work out too well. And Reilly, remember that? Then there's Marcos, that was a huge success. And "a comeback for the speed 6 is possible". Really? Perhaps Jaguar will bring back the XK engine and BMC can be revived and reintroduce the A series?

None of them made anywhere as many cars in the not too distant past as TVR did - or did they? TVR's rise in the early/mid-1990s was in fact the last time a small independent manufacturer of non-electric vehicles made a significant sales impact anywhere...

All talk of Jag engines for a make believe car are a bit silly. At the moment they are struggling to produce enough engines to fill the huge demand for Range Rovers and Jaguars. I doubt they have the slightest interest in supplying anyone else.
I dunno, the number of engines tvr would be taking would be tiny compared to the output, and it allows the jag designers to experiment a little and do things they cant do in a jaguar. I expect jag blow more engeines up on the dyno destruction testing than a new tvr would take every year. also sadly most range rover motors are oil burners...Graham said:
