wedge interior but externally doesn't looks like a wedge.....seems to be some museum, where is it taken?

Wasn't there a more curvy wedge concept car milling about at the same time as the Griffith concept? Someone posted it up in the TVR random pictures thread a while back

edit: found it, speed 8 concept, definitely not this

THat looks like the MG Concept car at Gaydon. IIRC that was the TVR 350 Wedge they bought for evaluation , and re bodied it.

Blimey, that was fast, here is some explanation...

Is it just me or does that rear end has some Chim in it ?

reminds me of an MX5 from the rear

Yup, a bit of MX5 too

But compare this;



and this

Definitely Chim like from the back. I stuck my head underneath and it looked like pure 350i running gear and dash with a different body dropped on.

That MG has more than a hint of recent Jaguars about it too.

Anyone want to have a crack at the green monstrosity on the left in the last pic.?

The wheels remind me of the Viva/ Magnum and the colour is straight out of BLs 1970s 'Vomit & Diahorrea' collection.

Wild guess: Leyland P76

[mrzigazaga]

Here's a couple more of it..Not sure what it is though...

Not big enough!

...or hideous enough

... though it does look out of place alongside other cars from the same marque.

A what..."Mister Magoo".......Just googled it and its a 1970 Micheloti Mini Concept...Im gutted that i had to miss out on the runout to the museum...Being an organiser sometimes has its drawbacks...

Such a shame this never went all the way.....

I saw this car in the flesh, not sure if it was at the motor show back in the day, either earls court or nec or maybe at the factory I turned up at Bristol av on my way back from a tour of the norf in about 93-94ish in my 350 and got the full tour, bloody awesome!!!!!
I love the look of it, did it get cut up.... Shame!
Cheers

The TR7 was project lynx 2+2 - 80% tooled when it was scrapped by BL .
A ford Capri beater. I think we had 4cly 4 valve ( Sprint) and Rover v8 version’s running. The V8's were realy quick in thier day
