TVR unions to meet administrators

The workforce has built a wonderful sports car says local MP
Unions representing workers at sports car maker TVR are seeking urgent talks after administrators were apparently called in on Friday.
Bosses of the luxury car maker based at Bispham, Lancashire, decided last month to move production abroad after talks with potential buyers collapsed.

T&G union official Tony Hodson said officials were hoping to meet the administrators on 2 January.

Local MP Joan Humble condemned the way workers had been treated.

TVR managers and the administrators have not been available for comment.

I think the first 2 Questions I would be putting to the administrators would be:-

1) The legality of removing the "TVR name" , registering TVR Blackpool, and then putting that Company (minus the only thing of value - the name) into liquidation?

2) Where are the Tuscan and Sagaris master molds ?

I notice that the webite since I last looked has changed from all rights reserved TVR Engineering Ltd to all rights reserved TVR Cars Ltd.

So is BA TVR Engineering or TVR Cars or both?

- and the T350 and Tamora ones - I understand TVR Power have all the earlier ones for Chimaera, Cerbera and Griffith - is this correct?

Unfortunately, I think that would be a yes. banghead

If you are worried, might be best to invest in an aftermarket warranty - quite a few people on here seem to have them and are very happy.

Think it's time to put this one to bed for a few days, it's starting yet again to get personal.

Sorry but I can only see this thread like many others recently, spiralling down hill rapidly.

Lets move on and see what transpires in the New Year.

Lets hope that it’s better news than we’ve been receiving in the last few months.
