The new company has not disclosed the size of dealer network it hopes to establish but said it was willing to talk to dealers across the UK.

“We believe that it is absolutely vital to establish a network of high quality, reliable dealers to take our brand forward and we are eager to discuss this with dealers from all corners of the country,” says Tygan chairman Graham Lee.

Tygan made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last month with the Porsche 356 Speedster replica.

Further model releases are expected later this year after the manufacturer invested in new production facilities in Beaminister, Dorset.

Tygan said it already has three months of back orders and production would be raised gradually throughout the next 18 months.
