I have heard the rumour that TVR (the company) might be for sale, is there any truth to this, and can the company handle a change of ownership?

It is up for sale.

It was admitted by Wheeler a few weeks ago in the BRDC and was in the press about a week after that.

He has taken the company from shed to factory and done a truely awesome job but I think the chap wants to retire againa and let someone else take the firm the next step.

Here's hoping the right people get the co.

According to Peter Wheeler himself at the Motor Show on Monday. There is a rumour that the company is up for sale, but it is just a rumour.

So the answer is NO!

Jeez...cant believe this one is still doing the rounds.

As I have said before TVR has always been for sale just no one has offered a decent price, so until then PW will be keeping it.

Wonder what the next rumour will be...?

Well, I have it on good evidence that Peter Wheeler and Bernie Ecclescake are one and the same. In fact its all done using mirrors and trick filming techniques (as used in Lord of the Rings) to maintain the two persona.....

You dont see the two of them in the same place do you?

I rest my case...

I have it on good authority that Peter Wheeler is for sale.

The 6'5" Yorkshireman has been steadily building up his value by quitting smoking and growing taller.

A spokesman said "Yes it is true that Mr.Wheeler is for sale but we have yet to test him in the windtunnel and until then, we invite all potential suitors to place their bids. Any deposits placed up to that point are non refundable but can be transferred to other members of staff when they become available."

The value of TVR went up 10p after this news was released.
