I'm sure if Morgan can survive there is still a place for TVR to have a go at it.
If I remember correctly, Germany was one of their biggest markets...go figure that one...
Morgan offer something traditional and individual, and gentlemanly. I just hope the "new TVR" is equally individual, utterly insane, and absolutely nothing like the other fridges currently out there.
From what I can gather, the new TVR owners want to stick to the original ethos, so here's hoping!
Morgan is completely different from TVR. It has a niche that it has built up over more than a century of continuous production and it has hardly wavered from it's original concepts. It has a hugely loyal following amongst a certain well heeled group that are different from the people who bought TVR's and it has a following in the USA. If I remember correctly, Germany was one of their biggest markets...go figure that one...

Someone earlier mentioned the Noble M600. Does anyone know how many have they delivered?

13 Griffs since 2005? Are these European or US cars being registered in the UK, either 60's or 90/00's Griffs? FFG
As Adrian said it's probably the 'original' Griffs; AIUI it's the perversion of historic racing whereby a new car is built roughly following the design of the original but with uprated engine, suspension etc. Look how many TVRs compete at the historic races at Spa. It's getting hard to find a historic race where a historic car is competitive now.unrepentant said:

The market is UK and the far east,China and Taiwan I believe. Difficult to find out the exact numbers as they're cagey but they're doing well enough to be introducing a convertible. It appears they've been selling about 12 a year which isn't a bad number for a car of that cost and niche.chris watton said:
I thought the Alfa 4C was quite big for a small 2-seater, isn't also as wide as a Range Rover? not very British B-Road friendly..
Not really, the wheelbase is 1.7" bigger than a mk1 Tuscan & is 2" wider, which I don't think is that big considering the Tuscan is quite a small car by all accounts...R7EBO said:
