Red hot.
it’s a Griffith 400. Which is and isn’t a TVR.
Its the same family as the Jomar.

·Never driven one, but always heard that TVRs went like rockets, and were about as deadly in the wrong hands

The BMW Z3 was very similar for much the same reasons. On my usual suspension testing road I got the to half the speed I usually went along there in my Lotus and ran out of courage.

·Most TVRs are garbage. It’s good they’re no longer made.

·This is throwing me for a loop too. Body looks Italian -- but also it's so upright! The way it sweeps down so dramatically, it almost makes it seem as if it's a 4-door in proportion, but I suspect it's not. Which means you're sitting on that rear axle like that Cobra, or a Daytona Coupe. Looks really pretty though, love how the rear fenders continue straight back. I'm staying tuned, haha.
Edit: Maybe Italian designed, but British built, like the Austin ADO16/landcrab. I'm going with Pininfarina. Can't wait to see how wrong I am!
Edit again: Now I'm seeing Touring. It's like you took an Aston Martin DB4 and squished the trunk/boot in a bit. I'm really lost...

·Thinking about my test route I took a Renault GTA Turbo that way on a dealer's invitation. It was fine although I wasn't giving it too much welly because I didn't know how the French engineer in the passenger seat would react. He seemed fine, especially when I nodded approval for its ride on what was a pretty poor road. So on another very quiet, very good visibility country road I took it to about 210 km/h, that didn't phase him either 😉
Engine, drive train and suspension all good. But my dear, the very plastic interior! They didn't sell many so here is one for those not familiar with it.
I offered to take him round the same route in my Lotus Excel but he declined. Wonder why 😗

·Finally have most of the interior sorted. All new carpet, headliner, door cards (front, rear passenger and cargo area) rear bench re-upholstered and the finishing touch, COCO mats.
I have a new dash to put in...just got to get around to doing it...
Still so much to be done though.
