TVR now on Facebook
Discussion
There is now a comment on there from TVR Motors stating that they will be offering a bespoke service that will build any model from mid 90's through 2006 in any trim, drive train etc. They also state that the price will be higher than before, though less that £100K. It sounds an interesting business model, though I don't know how they plan to do the manufacturing or how they will compete with all the other cars in this price bracket.
This may be a new beginning, I hope so, but I won't hold my breath!

I don't know why this face book page really annoys me so much, it just does. It's so obviously just some kid with no relation to the company and it only survives due to the vulnerable state of the mark. I'm so tempted to start posting comments on it but really don't think it's worth the effort.
I'd rather just enjoy the cars, like the awesome sounding yellow tamora I saw coming back from Goodwood this morning

k.Do you lot really believe everything on t'internet?
But I've pinged www.muadib.eu and that's on the same server as www.tvr.co.uk and www.tvrmotors.eu which strongly suggests that this is genuine. Either that or they are both using the same 99p/year toytown host.
The fact that all the domains are showing the same default holding page rather then even a basic page showing the logo and contact details means there is either a serious lack of cash or their marketing/web guys are seriously incompetent.
Either way that apparent lack of awareness along with a social media drive and a bitter fanbase means that this has the potential to be real car crash stuff. I hope not but this now seems pretty clueless
- to their credit they seem to be engaging with people though - could be the best channel for dialogue with the company.Interesting direction with the old logo too

Also, didn't all the moulds disappear from Blackpool one night in a container to Germany?
Using the older badge would make sense if you want to differentiate your new stuff from the old.
As corporate Face Book pages go, it has not quite had the same budget or time spent on it as say, Coke.
Everything points to a group of people who have learnt to loathe the British and are running around the globe trying to find others to do the jobs that could easily be done here and continually finding grubby little shysters who are only after a bit of the Russians money.
It is all rather pathetic bit with each failure the chance of buying the brand back gets a little bit closer.

Not sure if it was there before or not but it's now showing that the page is owned by nikolai smolenski and the name goes to a nikolai smolenski facebook page.
Still no proof of anything tho'.
Seems a bit odd that they have not introduced themselves very well. If it were me I would put some sort of write up in the info section.
why doesn't someone just ask on the wall instead of debating it on here!!
