Question of the Day: Can Old TVRs Be Imported to the States Successfully?

by


Thanks to the 25-year EPA and NHTSA exemption for imports, a company called TVR Garage is bringing back the British sports car.

The headline above is mildly clickbaity, I suppose, since “successful” here is a definition that needs to be taken in context. TVR Garage isn’t likely looking to sell in huge numbers — TVRs have always been niche — but the company is working with a British company, Str8six, to import classic and restored TVRs from overseas.

The Tucson-based TVR Garage will have service centers in Arizona, Florida, and California.

It will start with TVRs from 1997, with others becoming available as the 25-year mark passes for certain models.

So, you tell us — will this small company be able to bring enough TVRs from the ’90s across the pond to be able to consider itself a success?

*Editor Note: The initial headline on this post could be interpreted to mean the bran was returning to the States. That was not my intent and the headline has been changed.
