Think it was Harry Metcalfe who said Gordon Murray once tested an old Griffith whilst at McLaren. The worst structural stiffness of any car he'd ever tested apparently

… Creighton Brown's personal Griffith..


-- "What was your favourite old model?

‘I always liked the Griffith. I loved the looks but not the handling. Creighton Brown (Gordon’s colleague at McLaren Cars when they were building the F1 – ed) had one and we tried for three years to make it handle before we gave up.’"

To be honest if they spent 3 years trying to strengthen a Griffith chassis, the new TVR could take some time...

Dear Deranged

Please, please, please can you fix it for me by contacting Les at [e-mail], and asking him if you can get creative with the TVR Griffith.

Thank you

So LE said there was BIG news soon so whens that happening??

He’s often said something is about to happen.

There seems to be ‘a pattern emerging’ as they say in CID circles.

This is getting more ridiculous by the day, Stop playing politics and get a car into production before you loose any credibility that you have left. The EU are not to blame for your 5 year gestation period and if you wanted to sell cars in the US in the first place, design one appropriately. Don't redesign your underwhelming car, because everyone was underwhelmed and blame it on the EU FFS.

[S6 ROR]

Well, the week commencing 12th November, has nearly commenced!!
Let’s hope the Q turns up in the inbox today then!

[anonymous-user]

If you read up you’ll find the EU issue is for the factory funding, which from my own experience is a PIA. This is a recent issue not being blamed as a reason for 5 years

Underwhelming car?? I think not

I'm not going to subscribe but I get the gist of it. What was the US spec bit saying?

Really? You're expecting a daily update? I think some people here have an unrealistic perception of how suppliers work. They will provide an update when there is information available. It does not benefit TVR or any supplier to be late so some people on here need to stop with the tantrums and appreciate the problems inherent with bringing a new product, factory, workforce and sales network to the market.

They’re supplying a luxury car and trying to create a brand. The marketing has been hopeless. If you don’t supply information, people don’t know about it or lose interest and depositors get fed up and go elsewhere. TVR are the ones promising the updates and then not delivering.

Virtually none of this thread is information from TVR themselves, it’s largely photos and videos from fans and information from posters.

Compared to the information from other manufacturers of new models, the updates have been pretty sparse.
