I should know, but I remember a Russian bought the company. I just don't know what became of it?
 
As of now, Nikolai still owns the company, but apparently, has not put any work into having a new car built since the Sagaris. For the past year, there has only been talk of a new model & re-introducing the company back into the US, but to date, nothing seems to have come from such info.
 
Smolensky thought he could run a car company and only succedded in running it into the ground. He then sold the remains of TVR but eventually purchased it again (who let him buy it again?!!!) and there were rumours of a new TVR being revealed. The rumours said that it would be built in Germany and use an American engine, but all has gone quiet again. I personally hope someone else buys TVR, returns them to their home of Blackpool and makes a success of them, rather than let that idiotic Smolensky destroy them again.

Yes, I'm bitter about what happened to TVR and I hate Smolensky for causing TVR's death.
 
I would love to see TVRs in North America, although I fear the fun suckers' regulations will never allow TVR to be what it used to be.

It really is a shame though.. Truly shows the evil of the almighty dollar..
