Looks like NS' Typhoon design altered to fit a Tuscan convertible chassis.

Importantly, they've made a badge.

I can only guess at how many strategic partnerships with spackers all over the globe were signed up in order to get that made.

I will concede though that the badge looks good and I hope Dom can get enough orders to make it worthwhile. Shame the powerplant is a bit John Deer. Would have been nice to see something a little more English. Old NS never has shown an ounce of class, typical Soviet Chav. Hopefully Dom can stop him from chroming everything and writing 'Spunk' in 2 foot letters down the side.

Not sure about the look of this, hopefully the finished article will be a little more aggressive?

That is one FUGLY body shell IMHO.

I quite like the new site, and would rather they had a go at doing something new than to not to do anything at all

Has anyone made any enquiries about a new car, timescales and the cost?

One that doesn't need re-enforcing?

[dvs_dave]

So, how much are they going to offer owners of existing cars to be re-conditioned and sold on?

[JimmyZZ]

Well at least some hope for the TVR addicts

Really? I'm a TVR addict but that website fills me with the same confidence as driving my Griff at a ton-sixty in a monsoon.

I believe he does, but for some reason prefers the 50s art deco style logo (probably drawn by Trevor himself)...

So this is a smolenski enterprise?

I would hazard that it is NS at the top supplying the branding and rights etc and underneath it is 100% Power with the Belgian guys acting as continental sales and servicing.

It's his domain;

For some odd reason I typed in the tvr.co.uk every other month and a few moons back I noticed the vintage style TreVoR logo . . . and now the website is filled with stuff we saw coming about 3 years ago.

I wonder who and how big the target market is.

what new car???
there is no new car.

According to the site you're right, and wrong. There is no 'new' car as such but in addition to the refurbished cars you can order a brand new bespoke TVR from Griffith to Sagaris, with an LS3 drivetrain.

As the wholesale adoption of an OEM engine/management alleviates any emisssions problems, TVR Power should have all the moulds and jigs by now and as long as the IVA procedure remains unchanged, there is no reason why Dom and his team could not deliver what is promised on the site if you went there with say, £80K+ to spend.

Which is exactly what I would be doing if I had an amount of that order doing nothing on a bank account...

Agree, reads like it's been poorly translated from actually meaning "upgraded to cope with higher outputs".

Maybe it is a credible engineering term, I don't know, but what I do know is that none of the parties involved are renowned for their written English

Lol.

Or as we say in England - re IN forced.
