Google the name.
He seems to specialise in patent prosecution. Russian mob involvement and money laundering springs to mind, allegedly.. If you do not here from me
in the very near future you know why.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

From BBC site:
"Former banker Nikolai Smolenski "
I just heard about this on Today. They said the guy was 24!
Ach, it's a hard life this inheritance business!

I just hope he doesn't f**k it up.
I expect he will want to try and "do" America, which will involve cleaner, quieter engines...

Next thing you know, he'll be expanding by buying in a FWD fist sized piece of Indian sh?ite and rebadging it as the TownTVR.
It could happen.

Could have been worse
At least he bought TVR and not Triumph or (worse yet) Lotus.

Wonder if Chelsea will get a deal on TVR's for their 'staff'?
If a bolt is stuck force it.
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!!!

Seems like a smart move to sell the company, at exactly the same time that Rover stop making the V8 that powers almost every TVR??
I wonder if the Russian knows? Perhaps if you bore out two Lada engines and bolt 'em together???

The Rover V8 hasn't been used for a long time, the AJP V8 was only put into cerbera's all the later stuff,Tuscan, Tamora, T350 etc use the
speed 6 engine.

I think only the cerbera uses a V8 (and not a rover one) now, the new mental 580bhp T440 thing uses a supercharged straight 6 and everything else has
variations on the 6 cyl engine. Oh and the speed 12 has a rather potent V12
I wonder where Bowler will go for their power from now on...
