Default The return of TVR.

Thought this would've been causing a bit of a buzz everywhere including here as I know there are a few ex owners, maybe even still some current ones. All rights have been sold back to a UK owner/consortium from the Russian who brought the companies closure. Have always loved TVR's but have never quite had the courage to buy one, I'd love to see a return with something to match how seeing the Cerbera, Tuscan, T350 or Sagaris made me feel on first sighting. In fact, from childhood most TVR's seemed amazing to me from the wedges on, maybe Tamora excluded......

They might not of been the best built cars in the world but they had character and some of them looked stunning.

The episode of topgear where they went to the old factory was very sad. Would be great to see production restart.

I would love to see it as I'm sure would most petrol heads

We are poorer without them IMO

Analogue cars are becoming extinct, I can see myself buying a TVR one day. Maybe as a third car

Now that the TVR Centre (now Bespoke Performance) is a mere four-mile walk home from me, that's now a possibility too.

If Ginetta can do it...

There is a real market for boutique cars and I believe it's growing especially in the Middle East; they're bored of boring old Porsches & everyone's got a Lambo...

I see their webpage has been updated again. I really hope it comes to something, I'd love to see new TVR's on the road.
