Not sure who Van Diemen Sports Cars are... will look them up

It is interesting that the choice of name is the same as the company proposed by the 'Powertrain' bid.

According to Autocar, "Fraser Welford-Winton proposes to form a company called UK Sports Cars Ltd, aiming not only to resurrect MG but the Austin-Healey marque as well with a V8-powered rear-wheel drive roadster.

The consortium's first move will be to restart MG TF production at Longbridge and soon afterwards launch a Coupe version of the car. The company is also believed to be planning an entry-level MG Midget. If its bid were successful, UK Sports Cars would aim to have the Austin-Healey 4000 in production by 2010. The plan would b eto give the car an extruded aluminium box-section chassis, of the type used by the Lotus Elise and Aston Martin range, and to use superformed aluminium body panels."

OK, well Nigel Gordon-Stewart is involved with the Wiesmann roadster (the 'German TVR'): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...9/mfwies29.xml

"Imagine a TVR built to BMW standards - how good would that be?" An attractive idea to be sure, and the speaker, Nigel Gordon-Stewart, was once in a position to achieve it.

Lairy: you have to be in the right mood for the Wiesmann-Roadster

Gordon-Stewart has been a mover in Britain's supercar business for as long as I've had a telephone. Formerly of, among others, Lamborghini and McLaren, Gordon-Stewart, along with various former McLaren "faces", put together a £40 million bid for TVR last summer.

The deal fell through, but ultimately helped to convince Peter Wheeler to sell his Blackpool-based sports-car maker to the embryonic Russian businessman Nikolai Smolensky.

Gordon-Stewart was then hired by Smolensky as managing director of TVR and put together an ambitious plan to build a new breed of TVRs in a state-of-the-art factory, installing emissions-friendly V8 engines with an outside carbon-fibre mouldings manufacturer fitting the body panels all under the same roof. Gordon-Stewart and Smolensky parted company soon after and a lawsuit is pending.

Van Diemen make, presumeably among others, Formula Ford racing cars (wife's cousin races one)

There's already another company called UK Sports Cars Ltd -

U.K. SPORTS CARS LIMITED
Registered Office SEYMOUR PLACE, 28 HIGH STREET WINGHAM, CANTERBURY, KENT, CT3 1AB.
Trading Office 19 HIGH ST, LITTLEBOURNE CANTERBURY, KENT, CT3 1SX.
Legal Form Private limited Incorporation Date 05/10/1998

but for whatever reason, no access to who the directors are or any other details (as with some of the PVH subsidiaries - but also many other companies).

Interesting, though

nothing there on that link, just a message saying that if you are the site owner to contact ***** to re-activate it.

Interesting site name though. What has GCSE level trigonometry got to do with all of this.

Look again at the date: it was registered last week. That makes it more interesting...
