Been following this all day. Amusing at first but irritating now. Just another keyboard warrior with a high opinion of self importance. Finally caved in, said my piece and have now unfollowed the group. Ironic how he's banned the names I recognise as genuine enthusiasts and owners. Most from on here !!

Appears to be more than 1 person replying with difference of opinions. To recap so far they have said 3 models one to be a Sagaris MK4 (this is also listed in the models under info). Models to be priced at €50k, €100k, €150k. Sold via ex dealers and built in UK. No TVR engines (apparently that reason for TVR going pop - cheek!).

I just got banned from the page. I'm confident my chances of surviving are higher than TVR's if it is a genuine attempt to restart if that's their PR/marketing consultant!

Well, the guy there is going to have some major trouble with customer relations.
If you can't even answer easy questions your in trouble.
I think he better go back to his usual job of cleaning out the crapper...

TVR in US MARKET.

The new SAGARIS will be available also for US market in 2013 with V8 engine.
The Limited Edition of 20 cars will be called SAGARIS 500.
The number indicates the power to weight ratio but also the memory of the iconic Griffith 500.

So not to do with the fact the Griff 500 was down to the engine size, and the iconic griff is the 4.3 BV? A year to get a car federally tested and approved....

I've unliked the page.

I reckon it's a UK based piss-taker who will be outed soon. How can they claim to have such a limited grasp of the English language when writing posts yet understand replies by the public so eloquently?

He deleted your questions about the press as well - I'm close to reporting and demanding my photos are removed. But I may be deleted soon - I asked some nasty/sensible questions about US regulations.

I believe a few have already reported the page to Facebook for using their images.

Interesting to note that replies are on UK time too, it was quiet when the UK was asleep and has fired up again this morning.

In addition, when Gaffer was being discussed they claimed not to know who she was, but 10 minutes later they claimed she had a group of 25 close friends intent on causing trouble (and that they knew who they were). Very odd.

The only way to report an image gives a 5 point option... and no free text box, so it could be a PITA.

Still, put this on another thread... hehe

They will have to use 20 cars just to smash them up testing all teh airbags and other saftey devices they will need for the US market.

My post where I suggested I could smell a troll got deleted, I wish this stroy to be true but cannot help but feel that it will come to naught.

Going by the last 5 or 6 years of tvr marketing genius then this one seems pretty well aligned to previous attempts. So whilst it is unbelievable, I wouldn't put it past them.

The grammar of the TVR page posts suggests someone of foreign origin. so perhaps there is some truth in all of this?

... or put English into a translator to a different language, and then back to English - gives the same effect.
