\nWe don’t hear all that much about classic British muscle\/sportscar maker TVR, so here’s a quick refresher on what’s been going on over the last few weeks: Russian owner Nikolai Smolenski<\/a> has signaled his intent to bring the overpowered brand back to the market<\/a> using a classic American V8 engine of unknown origin, and we’ll know more about that later this year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.<\/p>\n

Shortly after that revelation, we found out that remanufactured versions of the Tuscan, Sagaris and T350 were already available<\/a> through Carmel Motorsports<\/a> in Indianapolis, sans powertrain. As we told you at the time, these cars were being supplied by a company called Total Vehicle Remanufacturing… which, though that does indeed have the correct initials, is not the real TVR.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, then, the “real” TVR doesn’t sound all that pleased with its newly found competition. Says TVR Motors co-director James Oxley, “We’d like to make clear that this has nothing whatever to do with us, and it appears to conflict strongly with what TVR is trying to achieve in future.” According to PistonHeads, “TVR intends to closely scrutinize the operation to ensure its own interests are appropriately protected.” Ought to be interesting to see how this one plays out, no?<\/p>\n
