TVR

The new TVR Griffith has been held up by European Union rules regarding factory construction, according to a new report from Europe. With three per cent of the company owned by the Welsh government, which also pitched in with a £2 million loan, Autocar reports TVR is subject to EU rules around state funding.

Italian marque Ferrari isn't the only brand celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, with iconic British sports car maker TVR marking 70 years with the unveiling of its all-new 2017 TVR Griffith. Make no mistake, revealed at the Goodwood Revival Earls Court motor show in Sussex in the UK, the much anticipated 2017 TVR Griffith is drop-dead gorgeous.

The upcoming sports car from British manufacturer TVR could revive the iconic Griffith name, after the badge trademark was recently renewed. Set to make its debut in September, the new TVR will be the brand's first new model since it was revived in 2013, and will feature a Cosworth-developed naturally-aspirated dry sump V8 engine.

TVR is on the verge of making an unlikely comeback, with the new owner of the British sports car brand confirming its revival. Speculation of a comeback was rife last week when news broke that the homepage of TVR's UK website had been updated with an image of the car maker's badge accompanied by the words 'Never say never'.
