Autocar article this week on TVR

[BigGriff]

Autocar are speculating that there could be a rescue of the current Blackpool location by an ex-GM guy who was involved in the MG/Rover deal. Apparently Smellyendski is talking to him according to the article.

Probably rubbish, but at least it looks hopeful for the 260 workers and keeping TVR British.

Was this what it was all about? Has NS managed to hook a rescuer for him and TVR?

Interesting.

I have no idea of the truth or otherwise of this, but in my (completely worthless) opinion, it's the only way TVR are going to survive in any form.

The rumor I heard was that willy wonka's glass elevator had been seen parked on the top of the Blackpool Tower

and that he was looking to take over TVR.


Probably Heard about the chocolate finger followers, marshmallow valves, and suger basket blocks





there is also a rumor that there will be another rumor on friday, but that could just be a rumor..

(blimey with investigating skils like that do you think i could get a job on autocar?)

Please god yes. I've always thought the Italy move was a smokescreen, the russian is obviously not interested in making cars.

Fingers crossed!

[BigGriff]

Im crossing everything.

Wish I had brought the article in with me as it was a bit more detailed.
