TVR’s Long and Winding Road Leads (for Now) to Florida

Like the mythical Monty Python castle built on a swamp, which sank three times only to be rebuilt three times, TVR, one of Britain’s last sports car makers has risen again after several near-death experiences and ownership changes, according to a report in the New York Times.
TVR would fit neatly in the comedic Python world, where cheese shops have no cheese to sell and hyper-litigious businessmen accidentally sue themselves. Consider its recent history: its third owner since 1981 was a 20-something Russian who actually owned the company twice in three years.
The latest owners are two Florida men, Adam Burdette and Jean-Michel Santacreu, who took control in February.
