I'm not sure if you can say that TVR is "still active".
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

They went bust (for several times) and nobody knows if they ever get back in business again.

Well, technically the company still exists but they haven't built a thing since late 2006, when Smolensky moved it out of Blackpool, resigned and put the company into administration, only to buy it later back cheaper.

Every 6 months or so they issue a press release stating that the production is due to start soon, but that's all that can be said about TVR nowadays.

Thanks. I sometimes do it when I'm alerted by someone posting in one of those and I see that the picture is missing, but I rarely took the time to check my old puzzles one by one.
