<<TVRs are partially light because of the body work>>
Glass reinforced plastic is actually heavier than metal. (Griffs aren't particularly light any way mine was quoted at 1060Kg,but actually weighed nearer 1150kg)
<<but glassfibre has more than a couple of downfalls - bringing me back to crash protection. Let's face it, crash in a Griff>>
The Griff had to adhere to the same regs as any other car of it's period.
<<Porsche make God awful interiors? Do they? They're not the most exciting but their quality is undeniable>>
I tried very hard to persuade my wife to swap her SLK for a 993 C2 Cab with 18k miles on the clock, she liked the car, but said that she could not live with the acres of black plastic
But in general, I take your point I drove TVR's for 9 years as my company cars, I suspect I would find them a little too raw now. But I do find the current obsession with HP over driving dynamics a bit strange, 500 bhp is a bit daft isn't it?
