TVR Summary...

[cliff123]

Would someone mind please explaining the current situation with TVR. I followed it's demise when Smolenaski bought and then closed it, but I was wondering what has actually happened to it now, and whether there is any hope in that it may ever be revived? Thanks.

It's rather easy really: the TVR-soap has ended and it's finished.Enjoy your machines and take good care of them.

When I last paid attention there was talk of someone buying the car designs and someone else buying the TVR name, was this just talk?

Who was it?

Similar things have happened, for example the Trident.

Maybe someone yet will buy the Tuscan moulds, put a Chevy engine in it and market the car TVR didn't.

Won't someone please think of the sleeping dogs?

They're going to be making a new model.

Code named the aero-ungulate, it is believed to use a combintation of trotters and wings in place of the conventional wheels. At it's heart will be bacon, rather than the British-beef traditionally associated with TVR. The first spy shots indicate it will look similar to the following:

They've spotted a few in disguise - dazzle painted - on the 'Ring last week. I heard they sound like nothing else

Hear, hear.

TVR is dead. It is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late car company. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-car-company.

I've heard that Smolenski or what ever he's called is trying to do a deal with Prodrive to make some for the US market but that's about it. I heard this in November after the dealer who told me had been at the meeting.

See what happens
