I agree somewhat with the sentiment, but not with the vehemence.

So, rather than following their bravery through to the end with a compact sports car, they're chickening out before they hit gold.

They've used tons of engines over the years, so it's not out of character to have nearly anything. They've had Ford crossflows, Lotus twincams, Triumph I6s, Ford V6s, Ford V8s, Rover V8s...the list goes on :)

Yeah, they managed to pull a Leyland all by themselves :)

To be fair, about half of them were TVR, so they've got the experience :)

I wish the Triumph car company would triumphantly return. Fat chance though. BMW won't do anything with it, as the nameplate is a danger to them if anyone else with ideas got hold of it.

I like this idea better. An LS is far too generic for a TVR I feel.

Aww hell yes. I'm not going to count chickens before they've hatched, but I'm looking forward to what they release.

This I'm excited for. Nothing says 'parts availability for rust-prone '80s Italian twin-turbo wedges' like 3D printing.

Does this matter one bit?

Thanks for upholding the tradition :)

Much more happy with this one than the previous condescending one :)

Thanks :)

Well, neither do GT3 owners at the moment, so all's fair.

I haven't come across that before, but one of the things that really impresses me is stunning pictures of the car itself.

"We've researched a few cars to identify what they say about "the guy's" feelings about what he wants for a family future:"

I saw this at Goodwood when he pranged it in 2012. The thing's an utter monster.

Would not buy for $500.

In what order would you rank making an monster-MX-5/Miata, out of LS swap, rotary swap or turbocharged original engine?

Not cool Arden, although I can see why they've done it. Their usual trick of sticking honking great superchargers on Jags has been made redundant by Jaguar doing it themselves.
