Latest statement from TVR:

We can confirm that a 100% shareholding in UK car-maker TVR has been purchased today. The new owner is Nikolai Smolenski.

Plans for the future are to continue trading, invest heavily in new technology and production methods, and hence enhance the TVR brand to become a global player.

There will be no large-scale restructuring and new managerial appointments will be made in due course. Peter Wheeler, previous owner, will remain on board as a senior consultant.

Does this mean that TVR are now a Russian company?

Must have got fed up with Ladas and Volgas...

At least they've got one thing in common with TVR - troublesome and unreliable!

Don't like the sun - they overheat
Don't like the rain - they leak, and the electrics stop
