Too bad they don't sell these in the US...they'd be pretty popular...

Dear Jason


Thank you for your interest in TVR.

We are incredibly flattered by the extraordinary number of enquiries we have had
from the United States over the last few months. Our friends at Automobile Magazine
have run a couple of features on us and Swordfish, the latest Travolta box office
smash, seems to have generated rather a lot of interest.

We are very seriously exploring how we might return to the United States right now
and are currently talking to the authorities about certification as well as potential
importers and dealers across the whole of America. However, these things take time
and so we would ask that you please bear with us.

We will be in touch as we make progress but, in the meantime, deails on the TVR range
of cars can be found on our website www.tvr.co.uk.

Once again thank you for your interest in TVR and if we can be of any further help in
the meantime, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Yours sincerely


Ben Samuelson
Head of Marketing and Communications
TVR Engineering Limited

One of the cars has some UNBELEIVEABLE stats, it might be the speed twelve, not sure, but just jaw dropping

there's i think 2 Speed 12's in the Uk the original is sitting out the back of the workshop in blackpool to my knoledge many people have made offers but it seems it NOT for sale
http://www.b-link.co.uk/talkingtvr/gallery/speed12.htm
the myths that there's 2 well i've never seen a road going version.
excess of 750hp..

the cerbera is quicker than the Tuscan, but doesn't have the removable roof.

I believe Car and Driver said you were releasing the Cerbera to compete with the Boxter and the Z4? Is this true?

they weight so little i would be surprised the tuscans would pass crash tests. 2200lbs powered by a 390hp stright six... god i hope they do. i would sell one of my kidneys for one of those... or maybe even a lung or maybe i should save those organs for a r34 skyline
