Villa on Cyprus will be my guess... cheap ones available on the demarkation zone. Of course there are minefields around, but hey, we risk every day, so why bother?

hardly matters, I can't afford one anyway.
With the high coporate taxes and increasing tax burden imposed by GB..this is probably the first of a flood of companies moving out.

Well, hopefully TVR's sales will collapse and ruin the t0sser owner.

They need to repair their bad reliability myth and improve their customer relations while they're at it.
I feel sorry for some of the chaps their that will lose their jobs. It was very much a "man and boy" business with sons following their fathers. Not sure "dumb arsed" should be applied to them though!
If you wanted someone to build your car you would chose these chaps rather than some baseball cap wearing, KFC chomping, knuckle-dragging grease monkey that couldn't give a sh1t...Last edited by hyperD; 18 October 2006, 15:40.

Many months ago I predicted they would move to Eastern Europe like Noble.
I just hope if I have to get any work done on my speed 6 engine that it doesn't have to be shipped out to Poland or something. That'll be a little inconvenient.
I think TVRCraft (UK indy) can now do engine work.
They'll probably try and keep the British marque by having an old lady sitting in a shed stitching the TVR labels into the steering wheel or something in Blackpool.

haven't nissan just got a new car to build to ensuring production for x number of years in the future..
I guess he biggest factor is the price of the pound and subsidies..maybe?

They should have stuck to V8's. It's the AJP 6 problems that did for them. IIRC something like 70% of Tuscans built before 2002 have had engine rebuilds, most of them done by the factory for free. Shame - as the AJP 8 especially the 4.5 is a monster engine.
