I assumed it was an earth point for the aerial.

It's earth screening for the aerial to cut down interference on your radio.
Not that you'll ever want to listen to it.
Even if you could hear it.

You'll probaly find more mesh over the transmission tunnel behind the radio slot in the centre console. It's there for the same reason.

Keeps the boot clean and smells so fresh.... .. .. .... ..

The type of aerial used on these cars needs a ground plane to work effectively. Usually this is provided by the car's metal bodywork, but of course that doesn't work on a TVR so this mesh is added instead.

I feel so ashamed that I wrote that - even the spell checker flagged it as wrong. I'm blaming it on tiredness and alcohol.

If you’re old enough to have done “O” Levels then yes, be ashamed, be very ashamed. If you did GCSE’s, then well done for being literate.
