Where are TVR ??

Surely they have got to beat 100

[Longboarder]

Japanese owned, I think.

 

Nigel

[DAVE CASTLE]

TVR owned by a 24 year old russian

[Guest TerryBarry]

Aren't they headed up by a Russian ( like Chelsea FC) - but they are still based in Blackpool

Just seen Dave Castle's post - at least someone agrees with me

Edited June 7, 2005 by TerryBarry

[DAVE CASTLE]

yes Terry still in Blacpool. I was in Gorners the

Mercedes and Tvr dealership near Haydock park

and he was in there with hes gang a few weeks ago

[Guest V8K]

and if im not mistaken hes intrested in taking the mg part of rover and building them in russia (icould be wrong and most proberly am)

[Jon Bradbury]

That's typical.

 

First the Yanks go off with the Range Rover, the Germans grab the Mini, now the Russkis want the MG marque. Like a bunch of vultures. Still, that's the real "British Motor Heritage" for you.

 

Ever been to Gaydon? Depressing place.

[Guest paul thompson]

I beg to differ with the Noble figure, we supply the steering to them and sold the 295 steering gear last year, bit less this year so far but interstingly enough they are taking more LHD than RHD at the moment.

[Guest bugsy]

They are the 2004 Figures.

[Guest 2bsprint]

Gaydon is now owned by Ford, that's why you are seeing less and less Austins and bmc cars and more Land Rovers and Astin Martins!
