What have you heard exactly?


Are you talking about the two Americans - if so then do a search on here to get your fill.

At the moment general consensus is NO FUTURE

Quick breakdown of events:

Russian buys TVR

Russian talks a whole heap of positive bullsh!t

Russian piles a whole sh!tload of daddies cash into project

Project goes to sh!t

Russian closes factory, sh!ts on everyone involved

Administrators come onboard to sell what sh!t is worth selling

Administrators sell sh!t to the Russian Sh!t, then it all goes to sh!t once more

Russian "sells" TVR to two American sh!ts with sh!t reputations, a trail of sh!t dealings a mile long

Americans talk a lot of sh!t

Same sh!t different accent

Russian is interviewed by Swiss car mag saying he still runs sh!t and the Americans dont really own sh!t, just the rights to two cars...which is actually looking to be true

Americans talk more sh!t

Nothing happens since

Nothing will happen

Same sh!t different day yes

TVR, for the moment, is completely and utterly in the sh!t until someone enthusiastic, fairly above board and with brains made of anything other than sh!t, comes along abd manages to buy it from spoilt russian business sh!t


Hope this helps biggrin

TVR the name is not dead, the owners of the cars and the TVRCC will keep the name going no matter what the Russian does, our cars are British and always will be, they were made in Blackpool and nothing will change that, and that as far as I am concerned is something to be proud of.

there was a saying at "TVR" JOKERS TOO THE LEFT CLOWNS TO THE RIGHT"
and the clowns are still juggling those balls,and losing them one by one
seems such a shame could have been handled so much better,and the workforce would have stuck by them if only they would have been "Honest"
well said by the way just about somes it up really!

shame shame shame !!!another classic marque gone to sh!t...
what were the figures involved in the sale? would it be possible for a group/consortium/cooperative ,you know what i mean,to buy it back from whoever owns it or is it completely dead.
would be lovely to see it operating again back home....ah dreams!!!

Sorry about this, I just want to clear things up in my understanding and I know I will sound like an idot asking this redface

Does TVR still exist, or is that only in theory?
I realise that the Blockpool Automotive factory has closed down but their website says about outsourcing and all that, does that mean you can still buy a brand spanking new TVR today?

Tvr exist as a design company etc. Supposedly the Americans have setup a dealer network across the world - even in countries they don't have contracts to set up in.

There are no UK dealers selling brand new cars - basically there are no brand new cars. Any car sold as 'new' is actually at least six months old and probably closer to a year.

Most of the UK dealers have closed down or moved to different marques.


I realise that the Blackpool Automotive factory has closed down but their website says about outsourcing and all that, does that mean you can still buy a brand spanking new TVR today?

The engines are to be done by Ricardo and assembly by Bertone - which sounds like a plan until you realise Bertone might themselves be in trouble.

Unofficial but reliable word from the remaining Dealer network is that current Warranties aren't going to be honoured. Would you buy a car with no Warranty?

TVR had a hugely enthusiastic and forgiving band of owners - very few of them will ever buy another from Smolenski and his American crew.

What sort of company P's off its entire customer base and expects to survive?
When they have no-one to make a product for them anyway.

Only hope someone like Lotus can move in and sort it out.

Till then - theory only
