TVR coming back to the USA
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:

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: |

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. |
i emailed cargo a while ago and they said they got word from an "insider" whatever that means.... but dont believe the date at all. there taking there sweet ass time to get here so, dont get your hopes up TOO much. slickdizzy, go to www.pistonheads.com they have tons of info on tvr stuff.... 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. |
good deal... yea tvr would be awesome in the US....we can only wait. :(
|
YESSSSS
TVR rocks i really hope the tuscan comes here |
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!

I bet the usa are jumping up and down about this news, in other words they are happy I bet.
|
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! http://www.mustangmods.com/data/1323/resizemg.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/data/1323/resize4.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/data/1323/resize2.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/data/1323/resize3.jpg |
i saw a tuscan when i was in vegas last month.
|
where and did you notice what kind of plates? or was it a show car? :?: :?: :?:
|
who want a MG-Rover here in North America though??
|
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.

***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. --Dan |
BTW, this friend has the only Cerbera in the country.
--Dan Pics as follows. My favorite is the last one, taken from a drive we were on. http://www.stlhosting.com/upload/IMG_2069.jpg http://www.stlhosting.com/upload/IMG_2076.jpg http://www.stlhosting.com/upload/IMG_2079.jpg |
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
|
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 |
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!
|
He might not have done the event, but he was definetly stickered up and there for the beginning. I dunno...will ask him.
--Dan |
cool dan.... man i wish he came near chicago it be great to see a TVR in person!
|
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 |
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
|
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...
|
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.
