"Clearly there have been delays in the commencement of car production in Wales. However, the timescales previously referred to accurately reflected the information available to us at the time and our expectation for this project to move forward.
Our officials remain in discussion with TVR and its advisors over the funding and delivery of its car production plant in Wales. Lawyers for both parties are also actively considering the proposed legal agreements for the building. The outcome of these various discussions is anticipated in the near future."
Yours sincerely,

Thank you Iain.
I have to laugh.

Indeed, 'clearly there have been delays', but what is also very clear, is Mr. Fitchett's lack of historical business knowledge, about British start-up sports car businesses.

Expect the usual civil service knighthood will be on its way to Mr Fitchett, but
for services to 'Senior Lead and fob off Letter Writing',
and certainly not
for 'Delivery of Business Solutions'.

Why can't England have a vote to kick Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland out of the Union ?
Scotland will want to stay out of NATO if independent. They will kick our submarine bases out of their deep water homes. They are always patrolling the North Sea/North Atlantic areas inbetween Scotland and Iceland and certainly act as a deterrent to the Russians who are also out and about north of Scotland. If we leave the area, then it leaves the passage open into the Atlantic which the yanks certainly don’t want as they are our friends, (God help us all!).I blame the Americans for everything.

I hear there is some kind of cult now, called Wocky.
Their popular mantra and entertainment, if I have understood it correctly, is that you go as far back as they can, then blame someone for misdeeds.
Many of the Wocky members did not bother studying history when at school, because they were too busy playing with powder behind the bike sheds. Therefore they just have to listen to other Wocky types, before choosing a statue to throw in the river.
I don't blame the Americans. Oh no, it is the Italians and specifically Mr. and Mrs. Columbus that I blame. If they had not fallen in love, then Christopher Columbus would not have been born and we would have never had any reason to dislike people on an undiscovered continent. Of course to complicate it further, many Ameicans are descendents of British people anyway.
All very true. Not blaming the descendants as such, just the current lot since, let's say a time line of about 1945ish, (that way I'm well out of it...).

I expect the Porsche owners you met were British, but let's pretend for a moment they were Germans.
You could have followed King Charles example.
He was a real hit with Germans in Berlin last week, when addressing an audience in the German parliament.
King Charles included a reference to 'Dinner For One', "The same procedure as last year?"
How everyone laughed.
Now little known in the UK, but every New Years Eve, almost the whole population of Germany stops to watch this comedy.
It holds the world record, as the most repeated tv programme in history.

I hope you didn't mention the war to those porker owners...Basil only just got away with it
I used to own a Mercedes W210 estate, an E320CDI. My colleagues called it the hearse, as it was very dark grey.I looked out one morning, and could have sworn the car had turned itself round during the night and was facing east, ready to invade Poland.

Premium brands that have survived, (of course Rolls-Royce, which is now owned by BMW!).Good old England. Anything of value, let’s sell it!
Shame BMW don’t want to buy the TVR name.……..
How is the thinking of fleet slimming coming along Richard. Certainly my pension isn’t keeping up with inflation so careful thinking atm.

Which is a real pity Peter. TVR Finance just published their accounts for up to Nov 2022. .

The 'going concern' says it all. The same warning on all the various TVR accounts since they started. Its the last thing an investor wants to see and now that the director brought in to find funding has resigned after just 10 months is not good news at all.

The auditors' warning:

Lol, he would say what the Govt has always said which is the standard copy and paste response:
"Our officials remain in discussion with TVR and its advisors over the funding" just as they have done since 2017.
I wonder if Bullitt is still hanging on in there along with the other 499 deposit holders?

LE said at the beginning that the deposits would be held in a safe account. Those who have asked for their deposits back have been paid promptly.
The only concern is that Audacia Capital, the Irish bonds issuer, has first claim over everything now if TVR went bust. Whether that includes those deposits or not, we may find out one day.

With regard to the deposits, weren't they 'safe' as they were held in a separate account/entity?
Or is that utter rubbish and if (when) they fold, the deposits go too?
His word is his bond. Money is safe whilst he can afford to repay. Surely there are only a handful of privately held deposits left. A few more dealer deposits - these aren’t refundable. Or is that utter rubbish and if (when) they fold, the deposits go too?
You’d have to be mad, forgetful, or both, to still have a deposit in place.
What puzzles me is that if the company didn’t permit itself to use the deposits to fund operations relating to actually building the car people wanted to buy, what’s the point in asking for the deposits at all?

It’s all bull. They have had a very small number of deposits for a few years now and so that wouldn’t have been enough money to do anything meaningful.
