Sad Day For British Motorcars

[Bibbs]

TVR to close

With a Russian owner, I can see TVR being built by old Skoda employees.

Can't see the build quality improving ..

They've just layed of 70 staff (300 total) this week.

EDIT :

PH Link says they'll stay in the area

I've known this for some time now, as i have a friend who works for TVR (blackpool).

I think there cutting down on production to about 2 cars a week now (or summat stupid like that)

Anyways he's looking for a new job.

So the future doesnt look very promising for our beloved'ed TVR's i'm afraid
