Did anyone see James May driving the California owned by Chris Evans on Top Gear tonight?

Is it just me, or is there a lot of TVR Griffith in the look of it from the front.
Not a bad pedigree IMHO thumbup

Funny that, as the Mk3 front of the Chim looks more like a Griff wink

Get back over the other side of the fence Chilli and Alex.
You chimpitos have no idea of timelines since you haven't evolved yet, or you'd know the 250GT is a 60's icon and the Griff is a 90's icon.
