A spokesman for TVR told Auto Express: "Our owner Nikolai Smolensky has put in a bid to the administrator. It"s not from TVR; it"s a personal one. He"s a sports car fan and likes British machines. If there"s an opportunity to be explored, he"ll take it."
The spokesman added there would be no further comment on the subject. Meanwhile, the Tuscan 2 convertible has some minor modifications over the Targa version, including a new dashboard. It is powered by an all-aluminium 3.6-litre straight-six engine and costs í‚á£41,950. However, it"s also available with a 4.0-litre unit - badged the Tuscan S - and priced í‚á£51,995.
The newcomer will make its world debut later this month with Sir Stirling Moss at the wheel when it will be used as a pace car for the Legends race at the Le Mans 24 Hours on 18/19 June. Initial customer models are expected in September, but that is yet to confirmed.
Although the drop-top was displayed in concept form at last year"s British Motor Show, it had its roof down. This image is the first time the car has been seen with the hood raised.
