TVR - The Truth

PetrolTed: Unfortunately I've had to remove this post. Whilst much of it was uncomfortable reading for TVR (and we of course get earache about that), we could have lived with that.
More problematic was that some of the content was potentially libelous because it was making allegations against individuals. Some of those allegations were very serious indeed.
I'm not in a position to judge the veracity of the allegations made and in keeping with procedure on these things (and law), if I'm asked to remove it then I'm obliged to do so.

History repeating itself?
It's sad that cars that seem to be designed with so much passion don't sell because of numerous reasons.
Also sad to hear that experienced people are leaving, and the wrong people are at the wrong place, ruining the company.
Can't Peter Wheeler buy TVR back?

I don't know what to make of all that. If true, and I have no reason to doubt you, it's a tragedy. I certainly won't be upgrading from my current TVR anytime soon.
Sadly it is true mate we have all gone into our Easter break knowing most of us will not have a job soon.

One of the most depressing bits of information I have read for a long time.
If even half of it is true, then it is a sad indictment of N.S. and his entourage.
I am aware of the background and origins of the Smolensky riches and unfortunately these "nouveau riche" businessmen attract a hell of a lot of hangers-on who are fully paid up members of the "emperor's new clothes" club.
A couple of months ago, I sent an email to TVR/Mr Loxley advising that as a loyal TVR owner, I was getting a little concerned about the apparent lack of direction/marketing of TVR and in my view were missing an excellent marketing opportunity in not having TVR regalia available. It was a polite message, just a bit of constructive criticism.
Zero response which seems to typify the head in the sand attitude and also to my mind, bloody rude.
Although TVR is a private company and therefore has no requirement to go public on any matter, I really believe that for the sake of the future of the TVR company and its many devotees, N.S. should come out into the open and issue a statement of exactly where the company is today.
I rather suspect we will hear nothing.
Oh well, the sun is shining and the Tuscan awaits.
