US MAXIM

[disclaimer]Don't normally buy it, but was stuck at the airport with limited selection[/disclaimer]
Anyway, the USA May edition of Maxim has a two page spread on TVR entitled "The British Are Coming!". Claims that Niks has sold the company to American investors[sic -Ed] and that they will bring the car stateside by 2008.

Just searched TVR on the Maxim US website and found the article here: http://www.maximonline.com/articles/index.aspx?a_i...

Whilst I was there I found another article on British cars, look what they say about the Tamora! -

TVR Tamora
Fast as hell and ugly as sin, the Tamora has a 350 hp aluminum (pronounced al-yuh-min-ee-um by the bucktoothed) inline that rumbles beneath smiley air intakes. It’s got bug-eyed fog lights poking out of the sheet metal and a big ass that puts Fergie’s to shame.

It's a harsh, but fair summary.

Its harsh period. No sheet metal and the air take is at floor level.

Perhaps they meant shite metal referring to the chassis ?
