What a poor piece of journalism.
Aside from the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors it's factually inaccurate on several occasions.
The Mercedes 190 went on sale in 1982 and the Jaguar (such as the Sovereign shown) carried on into the 80's (early 90's in V12 form).
And the MG RV8 was a rubbish white elephant when new and hasn't got better with age !

You will find most TVRs are meticulously maintained by enthusiasts who care for their cars, yes some of them had questionable build quality, some didn't but should be well sorted by now , the Griffith is already becoming a classic, as are most of the others due to their very limited production,great performance and looks.There are hardly any old TVRs that haven't either been thrashed to death, had terminal electical problems, leak like a pair of sandals in a monsoon or have GF problems. Definately a car for people who wanted to be a 70s porn star.
RV8 was bought by old blokes and people witha burning desire to be old blokes. Cars were carefully cossetted, polished twice a week and never went out in rain. With an increasing population of old blokes, I'm not surprised that the number of searches for test reviews is high. Quite a few excellent examples will be for sale now that the original buyers are pushing up daisies.

No, my closest contact was with the one that was parked on my drive, with a dodgy handbrake. I can send you pictures of the dent in my garage door if you don't believe me.You will find most TVRs are meticulously maintained by enthusiasts who care for their cars, yes some of them had questionable build quality, some didn't but should be well sorted by now , the Griffith is already becoming a classic, as are most of the others due to their very limited production,great performance and looks.
Your comments strike me as being someone whos closest contact with one has been listening to comments made on Top Gear or down the local pub, go and have a drive in anything Griffith or later, I think you might be pleasantly surprised.
My Griff has been far more reliable than many of my supposedly better modern cars, Mercs included.
I think that's an excellent article, but then I would, I own 3 out of the top ten!
