Anyone know what's happened to those two Yank owners of TVR

As the title suggests, anyone know what's happened to those two Yank's, Cooper and Burnett, who supposedly own TVR?

Without prejudice

Let it be known to any lawyers reading this that this is my personal view, and not that held by PH or its members.

I think they're probably keeping their heads down before trying to con some poor schmuck out of his life savings

Re-read the news articles. They never owned TVR but supposedly had an option to buy it when the 5,000 cars a year was in full flow. J

Think they are now bidding to buy out Man U and Liverpool

I've no idea. However, the other two yanks, Burdette and Santacreau, were unable to generate the promised number of sales/investment. The buy-out clause is, I've been told, no longer an option for them. At the last dealer conference, late 2007, they were there with DO but, perhaps significantly, our Russian was not.

Rumour has it that they would still like to be involved if TVR ever exported to the USA, but are out of the frame for worldwide sales.

These rumours and the info are some months old.
