Interesting. It reminds me of the 289 powered Sunbeam Tiger.

Not a really fan of the headlights or front end, but the rest of the car looks great. Glad they did not take the easy way out by going with a GM engine.

So exciting for those of us who are fans of TVR.

The new Griffith 500 sounds like it could be great - smaller and lighter than a Cayman with 500- plus Ford horses (massaged by Cosworth). I just hope they will be imported into the US in a couple model years

Would go well with other vintage Ford powered cars like Pantera, Mangusta, Tiger and original Griffith 400- I know I would be interested in getting one

+1

If the headlights lost that downward triangle shape, it would help a lot.

Definitely - the 1960s Griffiths were Ford powered.

Interesting fact- Jack Griffith (for whom the Griffiths were named) was a Ford dealer.

With all due respect to my good friends across the pond, I wouldn't buy a TVR unless it came with a lifetime warranty and a spare car.

Can't beat the designer's resume Gordon Murray.

I went round the factory in Blackpool back when I was thinking of a Griffith 500 in the 90s. The wiring harnesses were being made by a gang of little old ladies who were wrapping wires around nails in a sheet of pkywood and then hand-taping them together. I decided to buy something else...

Finally, a full size Miata !
