"I NEED TO MAKE MORE MONEY"

Who the hell will want a foreign TVR?

Foreigners.

Its not like British cars are known the world over for their reliability or anything (pot:kettle:black:duh). Might sell more if theyre made in eastern Europe. Theyd certainly be priced more competitively.

This is the first thing Smolensky has done that I havent thought would improve the company. Who the hell will want a foreign TVR?

I think Binary S is right in that I reckon people dont buy TVRs because theyre British, but more for what theyre getting.
The question will be can he make them not cheaper but more reliable? The newer cars have already been shown to be much better all round critically. Id rather have a Ukrainian Tuscan that ran like clockwork and kept the weather out than one from Blackpool that would strand me 100 miles from Inverness with wet feet
