The American duo are eventually expected to take full control of the company, with Smolenksi cutting ties with TVR and returning to his home in Austria. Jean Michel Santacrue and Adam Burdette from Florida have ambitious plans to take TVR onto the world stage selling cars a year and claim to have pre-orders from American buyers and a network of US dealers; they hope to have cars on sale by the last quarter of this year or the first quarter of , they told CAR Online this week.
Santacrue and Burdette say they have been planning a TVR launch in the US for the last year and that they also have plans to sell cars in the Far East, with a further cars across Europe — of which only will be sold in the UK. The relaunched TVR faces numerous problems. Top of the list is where the cars will actually be built. The most likely location is Italy and sports car specialist Bertone or Pininfarina are the preferred contractors.

A deal will be struck this month, bringing to an end 60 years of UK manufacturing. Smolenski was scathing in his criticism of both the Government and the local Blackpool authorities, for their lack of support to TVR. Another hurdle to pass is the fact that TVR models are not type-approved to meet American emission and safety legislation; without that approval, the pre-orders for the US are worthless.
The American duo believe that type approval will be granted, stating that they have already started work with the US authorities. As for the actual cars, Nikolai Smolenski, promised two new GT models based on the Sagaris and Tuscan models will relaunch the brand. To make sure the Britishness is retained, a team of 20 British designers and engineers will be employed — from the original TVR staff — to design and develop new models.
