But they won't be "Italian" sports cars. They'll be the bastard children of Bertone and Ricardo. "Half-bred" when you consider the badge on the bonnet.
Aside from that, the reputation they have will mean that estate agents with clean hands and manicured nails wont buy them for fear of having to find out where the bonnet release is, and until Smolenski does his worst and weighs all the cars down with computerised autopilots (ESP, TC, ABS etc) they'll be scared of becoming a permanent feature of the front of the buildings they're trying to sell.
The first step to the teutonic blandness all too common in todays European "sports" cars will be the electronic aids, followed by the deletion of manual gearboxes from the ranges, and then the full-on slab sides and battleship grey paint treatment; confirming "wankermobile" status, and thus being customised to suit TVR's current owner.
