It isn't really a 69 plate. It should be a 16 plate. Maybe it was a bailiff repossessing it?
It was registered 31 December 2019 so not a 16 plate The date of manufacture is wrong too: definitely not 2019 and more likely to be 2016 when Gordon Murray built it, or 2017 when it was unveiled.

And still DVLA show it as being registered in 2020.

One prototype and no production cars in nine years. Is that some sort of a record for a car company?The date of manufacture is wrong too: definitely not 2019 and more likely to be 2016 when Gordon Murray built it, or 2017 when it was unveiled.

I thought it looked great at the big reveal, and even better looking going round a track. It looks slightly dated now but not too shabby it’s only a shame there will only ever be one despite the website still accepting deposits which is farcical.
Good to know it appealed to at least one person ;-) GeneralBanter said:

It amazes me that they're still asking for deposits without having a product to sell, they'd be better off cutting their losses and selling it on to someone with the expertise and money behind them to actually build and produce a sports car at a competitive price

It appealed to a great many, despite the relentless ‘I don’t like the nose’ crap and people wanting colour coded valve caps before the tools to make the car had even been ordered. It’s all irrelevant now anyway, they cocked up big time on PR and made fools of us all with promises that evaporated. Trust is truly broken so whatever they come up with now is likely to be met with laughs and derision.

I can explain the sequence of events. It might help answer your point.
This happy day was the 8th September 2017 at Goodwood.
Everyone thought they were looking at a new TVR, but a car was somehow displayed, which in reality had not yet been built.
People are still mystified about what they did see. CGI, trans metamorphosis, alien beings, image projection. It is still unknown.
On the 31st December 2019 a new TVR Griffith was first registered (according to DVLA MoT records).
The DVLA are also confused by the goings on at TVR, because their vehicle records state Date of first registration January 2020.
Only one day difference, so perhaps they thought only idiots or those juggling figures, would register a motor vehicle one day before it becomes a year old.
We know that Mr. Edgar is an extremely honourable man, so that declaration of the Year of Manufacture (2019), must clearly be true.
He would never countenance any statements, eg. when production begins, which are untrue.
Maybe that Goodwood unveiling involved a magic trick, a body double, mirrors, a full size dummy showcar. Anyway it created great excitement and resulted in collecting many new customer deposits.
