Depends on how you plan on importing the car.

No company is authorised to do the compliance on a Griffith under the RAW scheme so your only option on that one is to live with the car for 12 months in whatever country you are bringing it from and using the personal import scheme.

A couple of businesses are doing the Elise...1996 - 2006 models I believe.

The 1965 TVR is easy, pre 1989 cars do not need as much compliance work and do not need to be stock standard.
