Now we&#8217;ve been told that you can buy remanufactured versions of the Tuscan, Sagaris, and T350, and you don&#8217;t have to wait at all!<\/p>\n<p>These old-as-new TVRs are being sold as rolling chassis, the same way you would buy a Superformance or Rossion, and have otherwise been made to comply with U.S. DOT laws. They&#8217;re available through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carmelmotorsports.com\/\">Carmel Motorsports<\/a> in Indianapolis, and all you&#8217;ll need to do after a phone call and a cash transfer is show up with an engine or a trailer.<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t know where the supply of cars is coming from, however. The &#8220;official&#8221; TVR isn&#8217;t building cars; these are coming from a company called Total Vehicle Remanufacturing. TVR, get it? We don&#8217;t know anything about them, but hey, one call to Carmel can answer all your questions if you decide you&#8217;re ready for the raw rear-wheel-drive power of what used to be Blackpool&#8217;s finest. <em>Hat tip to Alexis<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/tvr-rolling-chassis-from-carmel-motorsports\/low\/\">TVR rolling chassis from Carmel Motorsports<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/tvr-rolling-chassis-from-carmel-motorsports\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/04carmeltvr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/tvr-rolling-chassis-from-carmel-motorsports\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/05carmeltvr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/tvr-rolling-chassis-from-carmel-motorsports\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/06carmeltvr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/tvr-rolling-chassis-from-carmel-motorsports\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/07carmeltvr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/tvr-rolling-chassis-from-carmel-motorsports\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/01carmeltvr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/28\/why-wait-for-the-new-tvr-get-one-now-but-not-from-tvr\/\">Why wait for the new TVR?
