Now i don't doubt this has been thought of yet, however i haven't seen it so ill throw it on the table for us yanks.
We all want TVR back in America, Kapish?? Well why the hell doesn't someone take the noble/1g racing approach to things. Contact the factory or if all else fails a dealership. Get them to send the cars over in pieces, i.e. body, chassis, drivetrain, electronics, etc. Then we have a business over here that the cars or "pieces" if you will are shipped to. The car is assembled in america as a [B]kit car[/B] and we yanks get what we want as well as make a couple bucks. Now there are rules that would have to be followed, but i do believe you may not need to smog a kit cars engine, but i am not 100% on that. Tell me what you guys think.
unfortunately i can't help financially (last year in highschool) but why don't one of you start a company like 1g??

You were doing quite well until you came to the engine.
Could the S6 engine pass emissions? Don't know--don't think TVR knows for that matter.
If TVR would sell engineless cars and support (parts, advice, etc.)their USA customers, I can't see why it wouldn't work--are there any other straight 6 engines that fit in the Tuscan/T350 engine bay?

I was thinking........Ford not necessarliy straight six, but v6 or v8 with smae hp/tq ratings. I also had the naughty idear of putting a ford in it for emissions and then tossing the straight 6 back into it, once emissions was over. Although I don't think that would work as, IMO a legit business would not cheat like that.
