What's going on with them?

Looks like a TVR Griffith--are they being built?

Some more info here, http://www.almellingsportscars.com/

V8 GRF is your man with the info on these I believe, he did a very good write up in Sprint a while back regarding a factory visit and interview with Al Melling.

Thanks Simon.

Melling has 'upped sticks' and gone to Portugal, leaving behind the staff who helped built the Wildcat. The intention is to build them there but that seems as likely as TVR restarting production.

I imagine his grand schemes of AJP6 and 8 builds went the same way.
