TVR on comeback trail


IS this the car that could finally herald the resurrection of TVR? Our amazing image shows how a new roadster, with a Corvette V8 engine, could look.

Although plans to build the model in eastern Germany have fallen at the final hurdle, the company has vowed to fight on � and could produce it on its own in the UK. TVR bosses had been in talks with FMS, the owner of Gullwing � which produces a modern-day Mercedes 300SL � but were unable to agree terms.

The two parties had been working towards a joint venture, which would have seen the emergence of a powerful new roadster. This car was designed by TVR man David Martin, who based himself at the Gullwing factory in Germany to build a prototype.

Gullwing chief Jurgen Mohr � a former TVR owner � would have been well placed to build the car, which took shape as a wider-bodied open-top designed to use the Corvette V8. In the end, Mohr and TVR boss Nikolai Smolenski couldn�t agree a deal, but the firm remains positive that a new car is possible, and is continuing its efforts to put it into production.

�It would be desirable to build it in the UK, and we�re keeping our options open,� said TVR secretary James Oxley.
