i dont see how the front bumpers on the current TVR’s are much different than say an elise or a C6, it probably has more to do with emissions and Crash test demo cars that a LOw production hand built car company can provide. Isnt that one of the reasons the Porsche CGT importation was stopped? Its pricey and downright depressing to hand over perfectly fine automotice works of art to goverment pencil pushers to ram into walls, to simulate normal driving conditions. to make everyone safer. Yes there is a market for exotics in the USA. but for a company to give away 1% of the cars it makes in a year to crash testers probably hurts a lot of feelings.
