TVRs On Television - Griff
Discussion
I posted a comment the other day on the Tuscan chat board about a forthcoming new 8 part play featuring a Tuscan ( Footballers Wives starts Tuesday 9pm ITV1 ), this got me thinking about other TVRs I have seen featured in documentaries, soaps, films etc.
One that springs to mind was a one-off comedy play on Granada ( ITV ) called " Dancing Queen ", it starred Rik Mayall as an aristocrats son who gets very, very drunk on his stag do ( due to his toffee nosed aristocratic mates! ) and ends up on a train to Skegness with no money, he ends up going off with the stripper who was at his stag do!! It also features Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Clunes. Anyway the main star ( in my opinion ! ) is J631 NFV an Ocean Haze Griff ( owned by Rik Mayalls character ), there are a couple of good scenes ( and even better sounds !! ) of it accelerating away. I just happen to have video recorded it by chance, just been watching the TVR scenes again, one conclusion......I NEED A TVR !! Anyone know of other TVR stars??
