Aslong as the new owner has sence and sticks to TVR's roots there should'nt be a problem. BUT, if he does decide to make changes, I fear they probably will be for the worse Think about it... TVR is supposed to "The Best of British"... If so - then why didn't a British businessman buy the company? No one with enough money - or the company not worth anything? Makes you wonder... hey? Either TVR had turned to crap.. hehehe or was about to go down the crapper.. --- This would be from a business perspective or car quality perspective.. lol, if they're so deep in financial trouble, why are they selling so many cars then? and why are they bringing out new cars all the time? You're hardly going to refuse a big money offer from someone who can put funds into the company to expand and improve it more than you can yourself are you? Typical answer of the "blind faithful". If they had that good of a future prospect - than banks would have rolled up to offer the same money and be able to keep the company "British".. Let's face it... TVR is/was just Leyland with a loud muffler and big horsepower.. lol, well how come they showed a profit of about £400,000 for 2002 and are constantly selling 1000 cars a year? This from a company of only 400 people isn't exactly bad.... True, if they want to expand and make larger profits they'd have to sell to the US, but they would in no means be "in the crapper" if the russian hadn't of bought the company and would continue to survive even if they didnt sell to the US. Evidently you are not aware of how easy it is to "cook your books" in preparation for selling a company.. Let's see how the next 2 years go.. since that profit might not reflect accurately the real cost of fixing all the shit that broke... I predict the new owners will dump TVR within 24 months to one of the majors as the company is going to be a money-losing expense pit.. Which is exactly why Mr Wheeler should be commended for his business accumen - he sold the company at the time it was worth selling..

lol, whatever, you're beating around the bush and not pointing out anything useful. TVR has been around for over 50 years and has had its ups and downs but they have never been more productive than they are now. They've got their own one make series, they're in national and international endurance racing, they're making profit, they're selling cars, they're producing and desgning new cars nearly every year.... these aren't the signs of a company in trouble....

And as i've said before, theres no point arguing with you as you fail to see all points of view on nearly every topic....
