Hi Folks,

was a little bit underupdated (so please forget my last contribution) and so noticed today that TVR will never ever be what it was in the past any more. Have read so many contributements today and looked all the TVR Vids on MyTube the whole day.

And extracted one very simple fact: It might be that NS will sell more TVRs on the continent than within the last year within the UK. The market is much much bigger and that might look like a chance for him.

But he´ll never ever sell them in germany. Also not in the netherlands, belgium, the rest of the benelux and so on. Not even within the rest of the european countries like france, italy, spain and so on. His only chance to sell his bastards will be the eastern market.

Good luck with "improving" "his" TVR to a sportscar-marque for eastern porn-professionals and other not really serious people.

Extremely sad about that :-((( But in fact it could also be a real chance for all of them who have the knowledge how to maintain TVRs, how to produce spare-parts and how to let all the "real" TVRs live for a long ongoing time.

And has a car that looks, feels and drives like a "real" TVR also to be named "TVR" ? In my opinion it´s must not anymore !

There are so many Gs, Ms, S, Griffs, Chimmies and Cerbs arount there in the UK and the continent. And i believe that nearly nobody would like to change from his "real" TVR to any other marque.

So take this as the real chance it could be !

"Real" TVR went forever.
The "marque" is absolutely damaged.
There is no chance to get its 60year old reputation back any more.

The so-called last real british sportscar company must not die.

Remember when P.W. took over and remember the cars he built:

...
1998+ the release of the S. Ford-Traktor engined with 217 kilometers never ever reachable. Any middle-class-limo was even faster ! Not to mention the sportscars of these days ! But the cars sold !
And please remember that in the 1990´s the people loved to restaurate Spitfires, MGB´s, TR6 and so on and on and on.
But the cars sold !
...
1993+ the Griffith & Chimaera, the cars sold like hell !
Not because of their perfect technique, just because of their massive presence !
But in 1993 there were also the porsche 911, the mazda mx5 (mickymouse car) and the open bmw m3 (others not even to mention)

Nowadays there are so many bmw Z3, Z4, honda s2000, nissan Z, boxters and caymans around.
But the funny thing is that nobody even takes a look after them !
Just because of their massive lack of presence !
...
Morgan is still alive and well operating and here on the continent TVR has (had) a similar status.

I believe that there are still thousands of people around GB and the continent who would like to buy a "real" TVR.

Hope the story will be continued by some brave man in the GB.
