TVR is back!

There was more good news for fans of overpriced, hairy-chested, rear-wheel-drive sportscars this week as TVR emerged from the wastelands and revealed a new price list.The tumultuous days of the company appear to have been set aside as current owner, Russian millionaire Nikolai Smolensky, announced plans to restart production in the UK. And (deep breath), it\'ll cost ya\'.Prices for the brand new TVR Sagaris, Tuscan Convertible, Tuscan Mk II, Cerbera, Chimaera and Griffith all start at £99,600, and are built \"on order to the individual specification of the customer\".That does however, include a 6.2-litre Chevy V8 putting out 426bhp and 420lb ft of torque, a limited slip diff, some air conditioning, central locking, leather, a stainless steel exhaust system and a Radio CD with USB. USB! In a TVR! It\'ll be fitting ABS and traction control next.TVR will also upgrade your existing TVR - if it still works, that is - to the new 6.2-litre V8 for up to £36,000, including new dampers, a reinforced gearbox/diff/driveshaft, ECU and re-trim.
