"WELSH Government officials have confirmed that they are looking for businesses other than luxury sport car firm TVR to take on the former Techboard factory in Ebbw Vale.

This means TVR is unlikely to be building their new Griffith model at the facility on the Rassau Industrial Estate."

Hopefully they'll set up somewhere in England. Wales with their stty 20 mph speed limits and blatant anti-car policies doesn't seem like the right place for them nowadays.

I don't care where in the UK they are built really, just that they are. I think this is the (inevitable) death knell. Pity.

There is another thread running on here , with some very strong views on the current management of the company. Not positive

They should move to Norfolk, to be near the Lotus Cars pool of talent.

There's a place just down the road from me that ought to suffice for their next 5 years' production: LINK.

They can always downsize once initial demand drops off...

They haven’t even got a car worth building now. The ‘Griffith’ previously announced is already out of date before anything more than pre production have been built.

Dead as a dead thing.

Is there still demand for it? It's been long time since they released the concept in 2017. It's looking very dated.

The Welsh Senedd love spending money on dead-end stuff - race tracks, big V8 sports cars when EV is the new black and when they are vehemently anti-car, no new roads or M4 by-pass despite having spent a fortune on the reports.

Everything they touch turns to sh** so it's no surprise.

I'm more surprised Aston is still here.
