Looks like someone is trying to get them offically imported back into Australia. Here is a letter to a car publication that I found today.

Have you heard of the brand TVR? You know the car from the movie Swordfish? Well, they are in talks with an importer to bring them to Australia! I'm waiting for the official okay from TVR in England to announce something, but in the meantime would you like to know more about their range?

If you didn't know, their cars are based around a tubular chassis, lightweight GRP body and 300kW (405hp) hand-built straight six engines. 0-100 km/h usually in around 4 seconds and 0-165 km/h in 10 seconds!

If you wonder why I'm so excited it's because I have owned two TVRs and NOTHING comes close. They are raw and loud - no ABS, traction control, airbags or any girly devices...
