Breaking news this morning. Nikolay Smolensky has sold the English car-making company TVR to the Russian manufacturer AvtoVAZ for a rumored £20,000,000.
A spokesman for AvtoVAZ has said that the English name would enable them to sell their own brand motors to a much wider market.
When asked about the intentions of the company to continue the manufacture of the sports cars for which TVR have become so famous a spokesman said that they would shortly be releasing details of a brand new sportscar which would compete directly with the Chinese MGF, the Japanese MX5 and the Proton Elise. It will be based on a tried and tested engine/chassis platform currently used on the Samara 1.5 which would bring the TVR marque up to date in terms of reliability and environmental efficiency.
