TVR Under new Management

[coach]

Ladies and Gentlemen

I am would like to announce that TVR is again under new management.

Details on the front page of the TVRCC website - www.tvrcc.com

Jeremy Blandford
TVRCC Chairman

[BossCerbera]

Good.

[pies]

You couldn't make this up

So is NS no longer owner of TVR or Blackpool automotive?

[tvrbob]

That was unexpected !!!

[jamer]

This will be a long thread I think.


quoted in the TVRCC website - sounds good news for residuals


"In answer to a direct question, Nikolai Smolenski stated that warranties WILL be honoured Watch this space!"

Hard to see exactly what is yet to happen - I think 2007 might now look alittle more positive than 2006

Best of luck and lets give them a chance

Past caring anymore.

[potato muncher]

why didnt the two american gentlemen put in a bid to pkf instead of probably paying ns lots more

[900T-R]

Erm, wowsers - that's quick...

[coach]

Hi there

Cant tell you anymore as I had a VERY rushed conversation with Derek when he was on his way home

I am now about to be on the road for an hour.....my guess is this thread will be at about 40 posts by the time I get home!

More details to follow tonight on the TVRCC Website - will inform of updates here

I wonder who it could be. Someone like Dr Panoz would be pretty good IMHO.

[Tangoed]

well you could knock me down with a feather. Sounds good!

David Oxley welcomes the new owners.

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps the sale covers more than the pkf package though I'm not sure what that could be.

[odyssey2200]

Anyone care to speculate as to who these American Gentlemen might be?

[tvrbob]

NS must have had this in the bag weeks ago. The new owners must have done some due diligence, perhaps under cover of the previous bid process.

[midas dude]

Boss Cerbera,as a respected contributor to this forum,would you be willing to elaborate/explain as to what might be occuring here?

[tvrolet]

Well congratulations to the new US owners, and can I be the first to wish them the best of luck. Lets hope they can make a better job of it than young Smolenski. Hell, being described as 'gentlemen' is a step in the right direction!

Hey, they'll have gas tanks in the trunk, and the engine under the hood. Lets hope they don't start fitting fenders. And will the Speed Six become the Speed 244 cu.in?

Hey, wait a minute. A TVR with an American engine maybe. That sounds interesting

Oh, wait a minute, it's been done

Because they didn't feel like having to endure all kinds of legal to-ing and fro-ing with regards to the intellectual rights to the TVR trademark and designs?

Me too.

It would be nice if the steering wheels stay on the right hand side also.

[Fire99]

Well blow me down..
Compared to some i'm a bit of a novice of watching the TVR rollercoaster..
However i think i'm learning..

I'll treat this news with 'Restrained Optimism'

Whoever the owners are i wish them the very best of luck!
