I think a lot of sales of exotica are affected by a lack of luggage space, if the Mrs can't get her togs in the boot it is harder to justify a purchase or those driving holidays that make it easy to justify.
A Griff, a Chimp or a Tuscan made living with them as a daily driver so much easier, a Jag F-Type would be so much better with luggage space.

I think the 2 models were around the same price.The other model sold more because you could get golf clubs,rope and a tyre in the boot.
No, they weren't the same price. The chimp was £5k cheaper than the Griff except the chimp 500 which was the same price and only about 400 of those were ever sold iirc?...so if people had the money and wanted the power, they bought a griff over the chimp 5:1

I'm sure another model was released soon after the Griffith but was cheaper?
And not as good looking!On the whole its was a nice but;

I beg to differ...I can't recall a single track day I've attended in the last 15yrs (and i did 20 plus a year) where there wasn't another TVR in attendance, and there are a lot of embarrassed exotica out there that would disagree with the last statement as well am me.

Have to agree Bluebottle, the writer obviously doesn't include Castle Combe in 'anywhere'. Back in the day (early '90s) I was there three or four times a year, as well as other tracks, tracking a standard 4.3 BV; didn't think it was rubbish either![Auto Car said]...back in the days when I’d drive anywhere to drive anything around any track, TVRs were usually notable only by their absence.
