I have high hopes for this car - interesting juxtaposition between (Cosworth tweaked) Ford V8 and Gordon Murray's new iStream production process.

Nice looking thing if a bit Jag-like imo

£90K or more is tough though, not least in uncertain economic times

I hope it's a success

Indeed.

I've always thought that the world was a better place because of the existence of TVR's.

The world IS definitely better with TVR in it.

I'm really pleased with it - a proper 'bollocks' car.

It'll look far better in Spectraflare or somesuch. With trad TVR wheels...

And last night I was browsing TVR Griffith 500's thinking, one day.

Bloody lovely thing, the front end is a bit Merc SLS but the rear is lovely and side exit exhausts give me the fizz and a Cosworth fettled V8?! If funds allowed I'd be shouting at them to take my money.

just need a lurid paint job now in proper TVR fashion and job jobbed.

Just those Ford Scorpio front headlights I can't get on with!

I love the rear end of the car and the interior. It should be a great car to drive and not built from old bed iron like the tvrs of before with all that chassis rotting outriggers molarkee.

1200 kg and 500 bhp will mean it goes like stink but those front lights
