19/10/2006 Entry: "Another British car brand dies!!"
After 59 years of production in Blackpool, TVR will close with the loss of 260 jobs.
It's not by any means the end of TVR as the owner Nikolai Smolenski has revelead that production will be switched to Europe...what it does mean is that as well as the jobs loss we lose yet another part of our motoring heritage, TVR will be British in name only.
Three places being touted as possible locations for a new factory are Italy, France and Russia....now call me picky but i can't see TVR having the same niche market appeal with new or existing owners with a 'made in France' or 'made in Russia badge'..Italy maybe but not the other two.
R.I.P TVR.

Yeah my thoughts exactly mate. As soon as I heard the news I was thinking "Oh well there goes another part of our motoring history"
Tis a sorry day for British motoring
