Al Melling is launching a 170mph, front engined two-seater sports car, designed to replace the TVR Griffith. Called the Melling Griffon, similar in size to the Griffith and to be powered by a further developed, 460bhp 4.7 litre version od Melling`s AJP8, the flat crank, two-valve V8 he designed in the early 1990s. Production of 300-400 units a year and priced close to £50,000.
The article also shows a photo of what the new car will look like.
Should make its debut at the Autosport show at NEC next January.

Mellings being a yank is probably quoting in lbs
Get your facts right mate he's from Rochdale, as Lancashire as you like.....
I quite like it, brings the original design up to date without copying it too much, it seems to have a roll bar too which is good. As for being a better looker that's stupid, the old Griff was perfection.
If you try and think of a modern car that can tick as many boxes as the Griff and Chim did then you can see there is a gap in the market.
