Any news on what will happen with the russian owners and this marque. What can dealers do about new cars and warranties. Is anyone buying new cars?

what new cars.. they are not being built anywhere..
You cannot order a new car, dealers can't even talk to tvr about anything, including warranties... straight from the horses mouth this morning.

My local dealer has some demos (Tuscan S and Saggies ) sitting for last year all in £45-£55k range. Literally new and I wonder how he can ever shift them.

I would expected most of the new cars now to be used a spare parts. This is the only time I'm going to say this but I do feel for the dealers.

What next for TVR? Its no more as a manufacturing concern and never will be untill it comes back to the UK.
Having said that it will need someone like Al Melling if not the Guru himself to take it on,there is a problem to overcome if that ever happens the workforce to build the cars, most TVR ex employees are now working for themselves or others.Its a big ask and will take time.At this time we have a load of headless chickens running around in the USA and in there somewhere is the TVR badge getting more and more tarnished.And we all know the shithouse responsible dont we!!!!.
