So far no Tuscan2 or Sagaris have been released from Blackpool.

I have been told that the new owner does not want then to go out until they are completely “right”

This cannot be a cheap exercise for TVR who are not only sitting on a lot expensive machinery (if only 20 cars that is £1,000,000) they are now providing courtesy cars for waiting customers. (Lada’s )

I am hoping this means that the new owner wants to improve the image of the company by fixing reliability and build quality issues for these new models which will be the first out the factory under his management.

Any thoughts

if you do a search over the past few weeks there is numerous posts regarding this issue.

Essentially it boils down to the fact that there is a problem with the Sagaris and Typhon which means production on those has stopped for the time been (something to do with the drive transmission or something). Concentration has also moved onto the Tuscan2 which will be rolling out shortly (it has only just been unveiled remember)

(Edited to spell Typhon correctly!!)

Hey, at least someone is improving them to be reliable!
And that happened only when the Russian bought the company

I heard it was actually a billing problem.....(TVR not paying one, so parts not delivered)

I have mentioned this before, but my cerbera was ordered & deposit paid in 1993, arrived three years later in 1996.
