October edition of Octane dropped on the mat this morning. Excellent fifteen page article recalling all the past glories of Blackpool's best. The conclusion-
' Quite simply, the Griffith is the best-looking and most elegantly resolved British post-war sports car of them all '

My local W.H. Smiths sells it (Darlington) so it should be available in the region.

LOL, now there is a question. I'll give em a ring tomorrow. Would have thought so as there website still states sept as current.

Just called them, they said would be Nov issue by default....DOH...guy is going to see if it can be changed to Oct.

Best laid plans and all that!

Any idea when it's likely to hit the high street? I don't subscribe but pick it from my local Smiths when there's an interesting article or two.

It is in the Oct 2010 issue out now (#88) - mine arrived on Monday due to taking up the 3 issues for £1 offer in enough time!

I am famous.

Bought the mag today & TBH as an 80's kid, truly amazed & gobsmacked that they simply skimmed over the Wedges like they only lasted a year or two??
It's like they never existed, an experimental after thought. Ignorant wkers. That's all I can say.
I adore every other TVR creaed & will probably be in a hi spec Griff or Tuscan again in a year or two but to completely ignore all the Wedges like this is completely irrational & shocking TBH. They were the sole model for 12 years FFS!!???. The SEAC's were fantastic FFS!! One of the most significant vehicles ever produced let alone TVR's. How could they not feature a SEAC???!!!!!!!!!!

confused ............ irked

Being produced from '79 to '92 I think that they were the only TVR to be produced for a complete decade.
