Does anyone here like TVRs, or own one now? It was interesting to read about their brand new car that's due to appear next year - to be built at a new factory in Wales (shades of Gilbern perhaps?).

I can see the appeal of something like this, and if they're screwed together properly, should do well.

That made me chuckle; I know the chap who bought Marcos cars in the 90's; he invested enough in the firm to enable them to compete to the point where they got a works entry to Le Mans . He used to drive a Marcos LM500, but confessed that after every drive, he would walk round the car to check what had fallen off!

What's not to like? I'd have one in a heartbeat if I had a spare £90,000 to spend. Powered by a 5 litre normally aspirated Cosworth tuned V8 - yes please!

It will be good news if TVR do open a factory in Ebbw Vale. The idea has been punted for over a year now but was always dependent on the Circuit of Wales going ahead.

The Assembly Government appear to have scuppered that one so there may a big question mark over TVR's development as well.
