new and used market

Do you think this news will have a negative affect on the sales new and used.

Wonder how a potential buyer will feel once he/she finds out TVR is Russian.

See my other posts! Not at all happy (though I'm probably just being irrational)

Did Chelsea's season ticket price go down when Abramovich bought them?.....No. Cash spent on big money players.

Did everyone stop buying Lamborghini's and the prices dropped when Audi bought them?....No, Gallardo anyone????

So they are just a British company who are going to be getting a cash injection from a rich Russian investor who has a litle motor company to play with. With talk of his friend Roman Abramovich possibly buying an F1 team (Bernie has been courting him at the GP's) who knows.........TVR F1 engine in the back of it????????

I recall PW and TVR had ambitions of selling the engine package into single seaters some years ago.

I think it's just the old chesnut of people not liking change.

Progress is needed and for progress you need cash.

I honestly (at the moment) don't know what to think about the "They're Very Russian" thing. My heart is sinking (last of the British thing), but my head is saying "new blood, new money, and being British doesn't mean an awful lot these days anyway"

its just that sort of comment that has sunk this country down the tubes, i'm proud to be british, I was proud TVR was british.
