It's too bad that TVR might be headed the way of the grave. :(

It has emerged that Smolenkski no longer retains the rights to TVR trademarks and last I heard the company was being put up for sale. Among the bidders is Al Melling, the engineer who designed TVR's AJP engines. If successful, he plans to restart production back in the UK.

Awesome. TVR makes some great cars, just a little out there in the body designs. :D
