Now that Griffith production has stopped, is the manufacturer legally bound to provide spares for this model for so many years?

The law used to state that spares should be kept for the outgoing model for ten years. TVR are quite good at this and it is only recently that spares for the S series are starting to be in short supply at the factory, but can still be found in general around the country. I would therefore assume that there will be no problem getting spares for the Griff for many years to come.

happy hunting.

What about the alloys? Haven't they been unavailable for some time?

Yep over a year apparently, also theres so many little changes from year to year that some times it is still hard to source the parts.

I looked into this at work a few years back, 10 years availibility is an urban myth. After the warrenty is finished it is purely down to the supplier as too timing of spares availibility and how viable the business isfor that supplier.
