I'd love to own TVR

If I were running the company I'd try and mimic the Porsche approach i.e have atleast one model that constantly evolves rather than a myriad of new models that never really fullfill expectations. Establish some reliablity and drag the reputation up from makers of glorified kitcars to 'proper' production car manufacturer

If I were in charge I would dump most of the current models and get them to work on a road version of the "Challenge" Tuscan which is one of the best cars that they have ever produced IMHO

Zero, where did you hear this?

Can't seem to find any info about it on the web.

Completely agree about reducing the number of new models and concentrating on getting one or two spot on, with decent build quality.
