A bit ago I did a 3 part article entitled “Cars You Never Heard Of!” In part three (http://wp.me/p2YxYx-Gb) I touched on the Brittish TVR sports car. TVR engineering started back in England in 1947 with the first TVR being produced in 1949. The company was sold to a Russian buyer in 2004 and after a not so great start the company halted production.
Now a multimillionaire Les Edgar (Bullfrog Productions – gaming development company – associated with Electronic Arts (EA)) has taken a liking to the TVR and purchased it from Nikolai Smolenski (the Russian owner) along with the name rights from Blackpool Engineering.
Mr. Edgar wants the car to be a powerful front wheel drive sports cars and is shooting for production with two models priced between $50k – $80K.
Pictured here is the 2015 Sagaris.

Can’t wait until we find out the engine choices. I’ll keep one ear on the pavement and bring updates when they are revealed.
Thanks for reading
