Sadly the end of TVR as we know it..

Glad I have an old wedge and wanting to buy a new TVR (have I got 130 K ..) I don't think so and if I did I would not buy a TVR that is for sure.

'cos money makes the world go round not justice.
So that's the brand name going overseas & the only saving grace is he is bound to cock it up.
Problem is I doubt the brand will ever return.

As annoying as it is, we're just going to have to sit back and wait for the inevetable to happen and for TVR to fall AGAIN then someone British will buy it back

Just a shame its happened again

I think Melling just wanted the workers .. and there are plenty around who want a job. Good luck to him and to them

He does not need to pay for the TVR name.

The Melling Hellcat "Back to the Future" .. well he does look like the professor from Back to the Future..

Here he is next to my old car :

A great shame, Melling seemed to be the ideal candidate,
1) BRITISH
2) Engineering know how
3) great ideas
4) passionate about cars
5) Underfunded!!!
What more qualifications does the guy need?

Look on the bright side, it doesn't really affect our cars and anyway the aftermarket support is better now than when the factory was involved, regardless of who was at the helm.
Does anyone throw away their Gordon-Keeble just because they no longer exist? Of course not.

The Rusky is just a and is allowed even encouraged to get away with it by the s who make the rules in this country. It happens all the time set up, run up huge debts, go bust, clear the decks, start again, and the line to pasts suppliers, workers, credititors is ' Oh that was another company, nothing to do with us, we are all shining and new. Any chance we could run up another huge debt please '

Al Capone, got nothing on this lot !!!
