Repeat after me... "They... will... not... sell... MG TFs... in... the...
US". 

This fantasy keeps popping up on this list, but isn't it time everyone
realized that they aren't the only people who have thought of it? As in,
perhaps it might have occurred to the factory 5 or 10 years ago? If it
hasn't happened yet, it isn't going to, because it was deemed impractical
years ago, and nothing has happened to change that. Oh, except the company
ceasing to exist... minor point...

If MG Rover couldn't swing it, TVR certainly isn't...
