In today's Motoring Section of The Telegraph (p5) article about selling luxury marques in Russia...."And there may soon be a TVR factory in Moscow now that 'baby oligarch' NS has bought the Blackpool based firm". This just paper speculation about new factory ?

Why not, they had a factory in Malaysia. Seems a sensible approach to have a satellite factory in a very large target marketplace. Moscow is a very rich city these days, loads more money around there than any other part of Russia.

But if you were going to set up a manufacturing operation you'd have it somewhere more cost effective such as Romania, Hungary or Czech, so I'd say it's cobblers.
