Is the white one a 2nd car?
FFG

They had that one already in Goodwood at the public reveal. Seems to be the wrapped/painted fullsize-model they've shown at the depositors reveal.

Accounts were filed last June. Be interesting to see this years.

I don’t understand their previous filings ie £7m of debtors.

Debtors are “amounts owed by group undertakings” and are reflected as creditors in the TVR Manufacturing accounts.

Neat trick - absent consolidation, makes the parent look balance sheet positive...

Ok so they in fact have virtually no assets but lots of debt.

Yep, gazillion eyeballs constantly hovering above them. And next earnings-announcement date always in sight. Has killed the fun for quite a few companies yet.

Bullitt, according to AutoRai (Netherlands) the new Griffith will be around 225,000 euros (£208,000) there, depending on emissions. They say 6 cars are going to the Netherlands.

How does that price compare with Germany?

Returning back home from a run just now I thought I’d divert past Griffith House.

She is still resting in the glass fronted office.



Apart from that you all will be pleased to know that my car is going absolutely brilliantly and better than ever!

Still thinking of selling Peter?

I was. Got the car all prepared looking absolutely lovely and it is performing beautifully at the moment.
I then had an emotional moment and decided I’d put so much into it that I couldn’t possibly part with it at this time!
That’s the problem when you have had practically every nut and bolt apart on the car and know it’s so well.

When is your chassis work starting?

N7GTX,

hopefully not No, Netherlands is a special case, they have massive tax-addons due to emissions and the Griff seems to be the sweet spot (but i still haven't figured out how they get to that price, it's insane). TVR said the 90k GBP was including tax, as there are no tariffs and no special tax addons in Germany i expect that price to be roughly translatable with the current exchange-rate give and take a few differences due to VAT which will work out at ca. 100k EUR.

But let's see what Brexit brings and tbh i am not very sure we will see it at all.

So the Sagaris has a 'bubble' above the drivers side roof for a helmet. Why does the new Griffith have a small Audi SUV there instead?

[phazed]

Nice spot!

Out of interest, Griffith House is just down the road from the golf club that Les now owns.

Not Gatton Manor Peter?

Ref chassis work I’m still not sure, been meaning to make a start for the last three years... I haven’t driven the old girl for over a year now, it really is about time I gave her some TLC... and a good thrashing

[phazed]

This is where Griffith house is.

You can see how close that man a golf club is to Griffith house. phazed ramshackl is the blue dots at the top of the page.



That's about as interesting as it gets.

When will people realise that guppies shouldn’t be kept in a goldfish bowl.

Did I win?

A bit unfair because I quite like it!
