TVR has changed hands so many times, shut and reopened to shut again, but they are still mad cars that I adore for their madness though, for the life of me, I can't tell you if they are open or shut at the moment, what Russian playboy or nutcase from the North country might own them.
Jaguar isn't Jaguar three or four times over, or are they? Triumph the car company hasn't been Triumph the bike company since before the war, maybe even the Great War, God knows how many companies Healey put his name to, and how many Bentley builders have there been?
Then we have the old names of British motorcycling now back in production but nicely made in India or Britain or wherever by the likes of Tata or Mahindra.
It's such a tangled history; about the only thing that has remained constant is the guy with the hi-tech hoover, or do the Vietnamese own Dyson now?
GRIN!
