Ok the debate is old and tiring re: starting TVR production again, but this has popped up on Facebooks "Official" TVR cars thingy.

I do wonder who is behind this page....but they have put this up this morning.

I wonder if it's the foreign guys that were wondering around Chatsworth in 2011, they were asking us about LS engines in the Griffs.

That was Detrich and a colleague. They work for Smolenski.

I challenged them about the news twice on Facebook and had my posts removed. Lol.

They're so full of st, it's unbelievable. I reckon that website is a couple of foreign kids just mucking about with too much time on their hands. Their spelling is crap, too.

They're sod all to do with TVR imo,

Half the pictures they post are nicked off PH as well.

Some are indeed picked of the internet but to be honest, I like the photos.

Time will tell.

I just posted this on FB, let's wait and see what happens;

"Even IF true, i would be willing to take the gamble, but really ONLY if Smolenski will not even be vaguely or remotely involved. Because from him we are sure that he has broken too many promises, so come time of a garantee-issue i don't trust him keeping promises. With a totally new investor (deep pockets please) i would be willing to give him/them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. I think my opinion accounts for 99% of the target-group of prospects, former regular customers and the complete ex-dealernetwork. If i get blocked for this or my reaction removed, i will post it on Pistonheads and we know immediately who is behind it and how honest and reliable their intentions are.

DW, "Infinity"" on PH"

i dont think its kids based on his answer previous posts etc
though he instantly threatens banning you from a fan page if you doubt him, its actually pretty funny

if anyone knows any angry italians with pretty good english,and a interest in tvrs that is on here i would imagine there is a good chance its them, as most of the pics are taken from here anyway

And about to be deleted.

Sat at home, full of the flu, puking and feeling generally crap and this TVR Cars page popped up on my feed so thought I would have a looksee.

Yea, I really don't believe it is anything to do with them.

If it is, I will hold my hand up and say I was wrong but it's not looking good.

As if, replying in between puking.

Ah well. Waiting to be banned. Never been banned before, most amusing and no great loss.

IF it is true then they seem doomed from the beginning. They cant spell, cant do PR they are so far suggesting the old models again. They need to seriously rework the cars (styling, model range etc) to make an impact and garner interest.

It's.... Ermmmm..... Interesting? I think that they need to get some PR help, and if they honestly believe that people will just accept without questioning... Well, you get what you have here.

We know that they do come on PH a lot - let's see what happens. I do think their price points are way off though €150,000 for the top model?

If true seems odd that the domain tvr.com is for sale.
