Classic Cars - We put a reader in a TVR Griffith 500

Adam Towler article:
The synapse-searingly raw TVR Griffith 500’s brutish simplicity is in stark contrast to reader Marcus Cartwright’s precision Porsches. Will the Blackpool rocket win him over?

Nice to see a positive write up. They're wrong about the hood though I think. IME, and I've had 3 x Chimaera and a Griff, the hood doesn't leak along the top joint at all, despite its appearance. It's often due to the extending rubber seals by the door tops being damaged or the door seals themselves that have a tendency to leak.

Tony Gilbert stopped selling TVRs a while back and you'd think he 'd know it's the age of the car, not the number plate that dictates it's format. Black and silver plates on a 1997 car are illegal.

When I lent my Tuscan to Classic Cars last year for a Reader's Drive article, that was to a Porsche owner as well and he was complimentary about my car too.
