"Yet at the same time, it is fair to say that the firm has in recent years been hit by reliability issues. "

Expect an announcement from TVR that a plant is to open in Russia.

I hope this is purely to streamline the company rather than keep it afloat

It would be a huge loss if they went under.

Couple this with the Peugeot news earlier in the week and the outlook looks bleak.

Nooooo, gutted to hear that news. I hope the company gets itself sorted out for a prosperous future and continues to build awesome cars.

Think about it though, their entire range is based on one engine. And 3 models share the same car (Tamora, T350, Sagaris). They need to get their act together.

I love TVR, but they need to sort themselves out and get some cars out there which have their own identity. Oh, and more than one engine would be nice.

I quite fancy a trev so I really hope they don't go under. Thing I'd go for a T350T with the removable roof panels That and the three hundred n' odd bhp that it comes with
