TVR coming back to the USA

[SlickDizzy]

I'm sure some of you know that TVR hasn't sold cars in America since the mid 1980's. Well, it looks like they're coming back! After reading an article in Cargo magazine (which stated the Tuscan would be available here in Fall 2005) I e-mailed a TVR rep for some clarification. I got this response:

Dear Mr Jones,

Thank you for your email and your kind words of encouragement for TVR's return to the American market.

We are working very hard on meeting up with the necessary legislation and homologation rules in order to sell the Tuscan in the USA. As you can probably imagine, this all takes time.

We really hope to be out there as soon as possible, but as of yet, there is no date set in stone.

If it is OK with you,Â*we will add you toÂ*our file, and as soon as we have any further detail on when and where, we will contact you.

Keep in touch!

Best wishes,

Kate Samuelson (Mrs)

Good stuff! I also sent an e-mail to MG-Rover inquiring about MG's return to the US, but it wasn't as optimistic. I don;t have the e-mail anymore but it said something along the lines of "we're thinking about it, but we haven't found the right opportunity yet".

Oh well.

LOL, get saving!

TVR are going to rock America!! We will show the america muscle a thing or two yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

hehe. p.s lets not turn this into yet another euro?US debate.

Good old Tuscan....cheaper than a Viper, a lot cooler, and faster if I remember the specs right.

Sweet...I never knew that TVR sold cars in America at one time.

That will be badass for TVR to sell cars here...I just hope that the legalization doesn't add too much cost.

The devil drives a TVR :twisted:

Yeah, the imported here from the 50's to like 1985. We got the original Griffith, Tuscan, etc etc, and most importantly the Wedges.

Dude, that rules!
Now, I just need to save my pennies. I'll have enough for one in thirteen years.
Now, Puegoet, Fiat and Alfa need to make a comeback. Vauxhall can come too, but only if they give us the VX220.

Yeah, I've been there before. Pretty cool site.

If anything, I'm just excited that TVR's coming back. Now MG needs to come back over, the ZS would make a great BMW alternative, and the ZR & TF are just plain cool.

[Caps8419]

good deal... yea tvr would be awesome in the US....we can only wait. :(

[skituner]

YESSSSS
TVR rocks
i really hope the tuscan comes here

[JiggaStyles09]

holy crap, that would be amazing if they came over to the US. its really hard to picture a tuscan driving around the streets of America. this is the best news i have heard in a long time. hopefully everything works out. thanks for the info SlickDizzy!

[TVR_Fan]

I bet the usa are jumping up and down about this news, in other words they are happy I bet.

[crazidude]

Heh I hope that means they come to Canada as well.

When I was in Las Vegas three years ago, I caught about six MG cars with test gear inside while en-route to see the Hoover Dam. Caught up with them there (They were probably thinking 'Who's the crazy bloke in the red rental?') and took some pics. I will post them when I find them.
Great! I still have them on my image site!

i saw a tuscan when i was in vegas last month.

[Caps8419]

where and did you notice what kind of plates? or was it a show car? :?: :?: :?:

[tifosi]

who want a MG-Rover here in North America though??

[T-Bird]

I saw one a few years back in Sacramento it had the color changing paintjob like in Swordfish it was quite the car. I'm sure to actually officially sell them in the States their biggest hurdle will be the Exhaust.

Oh well. Cool...14 and she sounds like she thinks you are a potential buyer...hey maybe in a few years!!! :D :D :D

***THIS IS NOT TRUE***

A good friend of mine is VERY VERY close to Peter Wheeler and everyone in TVR UK, as well as everyone in TVR Malaysia (a separate company).

TVR is *not* coming to the UK. Peter Wheeler is demanding very outrageous terms in order to have the US license (based on arbitrary crap), and wants to have no involvement in the actual TVR US side of things.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

BTW, this friend has the only Cerbera in the country.

Pics as follows. My favorite is the last one, taken from a drive we were on.

please tell me thats not a cosworth engine in that cerb! please... bye the way is that faisal khan's cerb? im not sure of his name. if i F'ed it up sorry! :D

[bobafett]

Yeah, it's Faisal. I was just with him yesterday.

It's not a cosworth engine...but he had some body issues and he went to the gumball when it was SF-Miami, so he added that sticker to hide the mis-hap! :D

--Dan

[Caps8419]

lol, oh thank god! it would definatly be a travesty if it wasnt that orgasmic sounding v8...... i didnt know faisal did the gumball... i just downloaded and watched it yesterday but didnt see one TVR in it.... a shame!

[bobafett]

He might not have done the event, but he was definetly stickered up and there for the beginning. I dunno...will ask him.

--Dan

[Caps8419]

cool dan.... man i wish he came near chicago it be great to see a TVR in person!

[bobafett]

Hahaha, typical faisal: "why the fuck would i pay someone else to let me drive my car? bunch of wankers they are" :D

I should've known better. :D

--Dan

[Caps8419]

hehe, tell him he should have just stickered up his car and put phony numbers on it and followed em anyway!!! lol.... tell faisal to drive out to chicago and gun it past my house. then i can die in peace! :D :D :D

[dexstruh]

Well, it was good dreaming while it lasted - let's hope Peter manages to get his terms met. I would love to see a TVR back on the streets of USA. I was pumped when the Elise came...only took about 10 years...

[bobafett]

Uh...Peter Wheeler's terms are outlandish and absolutely stupid. They're not based on reality, they're based on his mood of the day.
