Sad news for the people loosing jobs and the british specialist car industry...
Dare I say it could be good news for the cars quality and the Marques future survival though?

Before, if I was looking to spend 50k on a sports car (which I'm not sadly
) it would most likely have been a Sagaris because it stood for all that's great about the British car industry.Now, I'd lean more towards Noble........

I think it will be a bad move for them in terms of sales in the UK, which has to be their main market. I reckon a lot of people will refuse to buy ones made abroad as a matter of principal.
They may just scrap us and try to sell more in the US/Europe though maybe..
As for Noble, their chassis/shell is made in South Africa is it not?

Well, what would you rather have - TVR's still being built, albeit off British soil, or the company dissapear forever?
At least this way they might not break down every other time you start em up, and might actually work - always a bonus when spending insane ammounts of money on a car IMO.....
