If I were running a TVR related business at the moment I'd be slightly worried by;

I suspect that statement has come largely due to the italian chap who was trying to claim the name...They do need to tread carefully though as it mainly the TVR Indys and race teams ect that have kept the marque visible... so need to strike a balance between protecting trademarks and not pissing everyone off

I agree Graham, but think they're just sticking a stake in the ground to prevent the usual 'chancers' that will come along trying to make a buck out of a revived TVR with unlicenced products like T shirts etc.Gassing Station | General TVR Stuff & Gossip | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
