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:
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)
TVR Engineering Limited

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.

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

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.
