Love it.
Must try one, it's new and at an affordable price - be it only in the USA

seem's the main point is the price, based on the quantity of time he talk about that

It's an interesting take, alloy chassis and tub - good as is front wheel drive .
Auto box and looks not so much...
However that price must make some people think !
99 plus 8 indigo

I like the look of it. That 1.4l engine is pushing out 200bhp. My Polo TSI only makes 110 bhp !

I think it has all the makings of a reliable fun vehicle at a good price, I wish them well. I always like these one's with the BMW 1200cc unit. http://www.grinnallcars.com/ You know it makes sense  .  Look at that chassis...

please don't get me wrong, i cannot imagine Charles Morgan presenting a new car and talk 6 or 7 times about the price, their machine is surely interesting for many people but such toys i don't think the price is a key point. I can be wrong but many example of brand positioning i know let me feel my thinking is surely in the right way.

Actaully watching the Jay Leno video has changed my mind a little
It seems very good value and well engineered with some nice details although overall the side profile looks a bit odd - too large a cockpit maybe and too short a bonnet
but hey
I do think the LED lights behind the grille is quite clever

I saw one of those Grinnall cars at Helming Hall in Suffolk last week, it looked really good.
Are they the company that started the trend for putting Rover V8's in TR7's way back in the late '70's?
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Sorry I don't know the answer Reg.
The first time I saw a Grinnall was at the Southwest Motorcycle show back 20 years ago in Exeter and I thought they were beautifully crafted.
