Are those legal in the states
what does it take to import them and for those that have done it what was the expense

thx

 

hey, have you found anything out? i just re-stumbled upon tvr, and found a tuscan S i'd ****** up. stupid US.

 

no I have not

 

I have seen them on eBay where they claim that they had been legalized for the US, but I have no idea how much it would be. It is quite a bit different, but the Motorex GTRs were pretty crazy expensive after import.

 

Is TVR still around? Last I read they were in fiscal trouble

 

TVR is long gone I believe. Smolenski was not able to save the company and then it was sold off to some investors in Florida if I remember correctly. From there I believe that it was found out that Smolenski was still involved and the company is just a name at the moment. They hope to restart production, but who knows how likely that will be.

 

Every now and then I see one floating around on Ebay in the US. I highly doubt their are many in the states.

 

There were a few here in Canada and the US that were converted/legalized however the new ones aren't without major modification. As for if they are in production, I can't recall what the status of it is, but the company isn't fully dead and I'm sure they are planning their comback. The site is still up and shows 3 vehicles, but nothing other than that, also licensing is still being given out to video games.
