Not spotted in China

[Notanutter]

I just got back from a business trip to Chongqing, China. Perhaps unsurprisngly I didn't spot any TVR's but:
There are 31 milion people in Chongqing metropolitan district, which is 3x the size (surface area) of Belgium, and the roads are just as good.
The airport and department stores put London to shame.
Amazing economic growth (+11% GDP p.a.) and an "aspirational lifestyle" means the Chinese are frantically buying anything which is a high-value / prestige consumer item.
There is a Ferrari/Maserati dealership.
There is an Audi factory just up the road from there, and the quality of the A6 I rode in is as good as my genuine-German-built one.
I attended a conference at which a senor Ford Motor Co exec stated "customers go for the brand, they don't care where the parts are made".
I visited a motorcyle factory turning out Harley equivalents.
I saw no road rage and no speed cameras.
You can get a return trip to Beijing or Shanghai with Air China for between £300-500, and a 5* hotel for £35 a night.
Somewhere here must lay the answer as to how TVR can be saved ????

Interesting theory but like you said customers buy on brand. Is TVR that much of Global brand? Has anyone in China heard of TVR? Probably not to be fair. I doubt TVRs get recognised much in European countries let alone China.
