British sports car maker TVR has been going downhill ever since it was sold to a Russian business boy. Now they are back in business with new headquarters in Austria.

But it seems they don’t have enough money yet to come up with an all-new model. Instead they will be making upgraded versions of the old models. And they can do the entire range including Sagaris, Tuscan convertible, Tuscan MK II,  Cerbera, Chimaera and Griffith.

They do have a new engine, a GM 6.2L 426 bhp V8 with  420 lb/ft of torque, mated to an enforced 5-speed manual gearbox.

So you go to them with your old TVR, and they will rebuild it as new with the V8 engine. Or, you can ask them to make you one of the models mentioned above to your individual specifications, as long as you don’t ask for a different engine!

They are already working on Tuscan MK II convertible which they say will be the fastest convertible in the world with an open-top speed of 187 mph.

We hope some day TVR becomes that magnificent British supercar it once was. Rebuilding old cars certainly won’t do it.
