    • @bighands69
      @bighands69 Před 9 lety +2

      TVR simple do not have the market demand that was the reason they shut down. People simply did not desire the car the way they do Porsche, BMW, Jaguar, Aston Martin or Mercedes.
      These cars should be on radar and marketing was TVR's weakness.

    • @DoriFord
      @DoriFord Před 7 lety

      I don't think it's true. If you buy a company with potential you have to do something! Like Mimran bros bought the Lamborghini factory in 1980. Lambo was weak at marketing too, hardly more comfortable than TVR to drive. I think the main problem of TVR was design, it didn't attract the right people.

    @davekennedy6315 Před měsícem

    Peter Wheeler both truly created TVR and then totally destroyed it with his shady dealings and moronic penny pinching ideas with the Speed Eight and Speed Six engines. Al Melling had designed a great pair of engines but Wheelers corner cutting turned them both unrelillable and rebuild prone. Brand new cars left the factory without even having their engines properly tuned/set up and producing way, WAY less power than they should. Then towards the end Wheeler put out so many variants on basically the same cars? It's such a shame that TVR died the way it did and we live in a darker, quieter, more boring world because of it.
