maybe, maybe not! That the company has problems is not in doubt, that they cannot be resolved is not yet certain - I think it CAN be salvaged.

Well I certainly hope someone does rescue TVR, some people may say it doesn't need rescueing, but from when I'm sitting it does.

Most people know what recipe TVR needs to sell lots more cars, they're so close it that it hurts.

Bring on the TVR 'Phoenix'

Doubt he will sell it to be honest.

i have a horrid feeling TVR production is about to move abroad, hence why they have not announced where they are moving too just yet

Well good luck to you, I hope and pray he does sell, I could imagine there's some people in Blackpool think the same.

So Tim, what's your business plan to turn round a company which managed to make a £10m loss on a £16m turnover? Mathematically, even if all the staff worked for free it would still have made a huge loss. Couple this with overturning its reputation for poor reliability and then motivating a totally cheesed off workforce.

Quite frankly, if you can present a business model which turns in a profit in a reasonable period of time - forget TVR, I'll give you a job tomorrow!

There was a consortium trying to buy the company when NS nipped in and bought it.

That consortium included some interesting names from the British motor industry. I wonder if they're still interested.

Weren't McLaren interested at one point, or did I imagine that?
