edit: @madaboutastons: just curious, will you be able to test-drive the vantage before finally comitting ?
Ha ha fair question!So, like the TVR if I wanted one of the first Vantages then I had to pay a deposit early and actually specified the car in December so will get it in July. The test drive I can do anytime now (but I am a little busy abroad). I have committed to the Vantage so I take your point. My little play in the camouflaged prototype in the AM car park in the snow in December doesn't really count.
So with TVR it is similar, I again have the choice, get the deposit back, wait for a car to test drive then place an order and get a car much later.
I just have a lot more faith in AM having owned their previous products and I know their aesthetics and that they work for me.
I don't expect any similarity between the new Griff and any prior TVR in terms of feel of the car hence I am more twitchy. Additionally TVR move up to a new higher price point hence the expectations are higher than you would have in an old Cerb!
But your point is well made!

Really only wanted to know how AM handles it. They are an established company, premium segment, with thousands of cars sold, existing infrastructure, factories, sales channels etc. Situation at TVR is not remotely comparable.
But i guess queuing up for any special/signature/limited car will in a way be a tradeoff between knowing what you get and actually getting it.

There's some mileage in that..the bottom / underneath edges of the head-lights need to encased within the body..and smoothed out.Would look uber-cool if they could mimic the rear-LED's ...
Cool, TopGear website has the article from the current print-magazine about TVR online:

"... Well done TVR. You've made a car that's gonna cure erectile dysfunction, something that Lamborghini and Aston Martin forgot how to do. ..."

We seem to go through regular cycles of fixing the front. I wonder now if they’ve already re-designed it, and every few weeks the new Tvr team sit back with a few drinks and watch the new designs unfold on here

I like em spag, because I know whatever plastic fantastic you set yourself up in, you’ll always end up on my coat tails. Just get the Aston and let it go. You’ll get one of these half the price of the aston in 4 years. :
