The TVR Griffith was touted as the first production car to utilize Gordon Murray’s revolutionary iStream construction technique, which makes use of pre-assembled parts to cut costs and reduce manufacturing times, and a Ford Mustang GT-sourced 5.0-liter V8. Despite this, we haven’t seen much of the car because TVR had no factory in which to build the new car. Interestingly, Evo magazine in the UK says that Gordon Murray Automotive has confirmed that “no one from TVR has made contact with them regarding production of the new Griffith.” This implies that TVR has no interest in outsourcing the manufacture of its new sports car, but why? Well, TVR was expecting to be getting its own factory with backing from the Welsh Assembly. Sadly, this work was delayed because of rules around state funding, which in turn cast a shadow over the viability of TVR from an investor confidence point of view.
