Ok. Documents ,please.

I stand corrected. I find it quite unusual that it was named in that way at a time when the TVR was still being produced. If we assume that this puzzle car was also made in the late 70s or early 80s, TVR would have been owned by Martin Lilley or Peter Wheeler, both of whom were TVR fanatics. I can't imagine that they would allow this to happen, or that the Cottinghams would have ignored the marque.

Maybe it was TVR powered? Seems a bit odd for a Ferrari specialist.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

TVR's first engine was the Al Melling-designed AJP8 which appeared in 1996, although the Rover V8 used in the Griffith since 1991 and in the earlier V8S models had "TVR Power" written on the rocker covers, as they were breathed on by TVR Power in Coventry.

It's more likely the car sits on a TVR chassis.

nicanary ,I think that this question can answer Mr. Cottingham, or a fan of the company's history.

Carnut ,Griffith was back in the 2000's as a Wildcat ,from Al Melling International flyer.

Yes but unfortunately it came to nothing.
Pity.
