Quite an interesting read although I find it hard to warm up to fiberglass cars (my apologies to the TVR group - OK, maybe if a nice Griffith came available).
Looks like the hardtop was designed by a British mechanical engineer but the basic car doesn't look that bad. Tom

Tom check out my "Early TVR's@ Amelia Island Concours " post in the TVR section, some early Griffths to drool at.
