So it's a long wait but...

Yesterday this month's Octane landed on the doormat and it always has a page summarising next month's content. So next month the main feature concerns TVR Griffiths (classic and modern) as the best examples of TVR's cars to guide the Les Edgar reincarnation.

Should be good! In the shops end of September I guess.

My copy has arrived also, yet to peruse the content. Shall look forward to next month's issue then, it normally arrives through the post about 20th to 22nd of the month. They ran a good article a couple of years back with a range of TVR's - an S, Griff, Tuscan, T350 etc. there owners stating why they bought it etc. Worth digging out and re reading. It's good to see the mainstream mags are picking up on the Grif now, there always seems to be the hype over Ferraris, Porsche, Mercs etc, where there is less of our breed compared to say classic Porsche which are now starting to really appreciate in price.

Was it me or did others find this article a bit of a yawn? Yes it was nice to see the Griff 'Mk 1' but there was very little on the 'Mk 2'. Bit of a missed opportunity as far as I am concerned, however the article in Classic Car Weekly was nice, although it has all been said before.

Still it is always good to see the profile of this great car being raised.

Sorry,both articles well written and illustrated. 12 pages on Griff 200 and 500 in Octane. Not many Ferraris have that amount of space. Prospective owners new to Griffs would have an avid informative read.

I think for the most part articles like that are not really written for those 'in the know'

But they're great pieces for introducing the heritage and bloodline of TVR to those who just think that TVR is just about the Sagaris.
