I was at the launch of the newly reborn TVR's newly reborn Griffith (not my photographs)...
It's a nice enough looking car... all the more remarkable considering the long road back from the last decade's strange twists and turns for TVR.
It's a true-to-brand basic old fashion muscle car with a big engine and lots of noise.
It was also a predictably tragic rebirth ceremony that really summed up the British car industry. The pre-reveal anticipation-building music was 'Cum On Feel The Noize' by Slade, and then when that died down and the room fell into silence in anticipation we heard, from behind the curtain the glorious growl of a big valve V8 starting up. That lasted for about half a second, and then it died and wouldn't restart, and the curtain had to fall on a completely silent car.
- Here it is (go to 9:50), in all it's Grate British glory. We really know how to launch an exotic sports car.Muncher
