The company is in dire straights and they decide to follow in the vein of the cars that DIDN'T work (Typhon/400/440)? Sounds like classic upper management to me rolleyes

Blah, blah, blah.

There's been nothing but bullsh*t from Smolenski since he did the world a diservice and purchased TVR from Wheeler. He's already put TVR in it's wooden overcoat, all he needs to do now is nail it shut and pile on the dirt.

I just hope and pray he realises he's got it totally wrong and flicks off the rights to a nice British gentleman with pots of cash and some common sense.

I do like the front-on shot though but then that's because it's very derivative of all the previous TVR designs. They obviously got bored styling the rear-end and just decided to cut and paste a VX220 onto it. How the hell are they going to fit rear seats with that cockpit design? Perhaps they've going to bring back the dicky (sp?) seat?

I wonder what Mr Wheeler thinks about all this?

Bit of 'good news' spin to keep the brand alive.

Didnt TVR's best stylist leave & join marcos?

IMO TVR sunk when they chose to develop the i6, before then they were cheap(ish) high powered grunty v8's selling bucketloads, something like the tuscan, tamora etc were better cars but didnt sell, the core of that was the engine made of cardboard.

I think Mr Wheeler might be rubbing his hands together.... buy back the company for peanuts that he sold for many millions
