Show show show (and more show!)
Well we're in full swing show season, with even more busy times ahead.
Everybody wants to see the new Griffith. Following the dash to Autosport, it was exhibited at the TVR Car Club's season opener at Burghley House, where despite the weather, all present had a great time.
As ever, the event was brilliantly supported by the TVR faithful, comprising owners and enthusiasts alike and the feedback we received was all both positive and supportive. Many commented once again that the new Griffith really has to be viewed 'up close and personal' in natural daylight, since photographs under the spotlights alone really do not convey the full picture when it comes to the styling drama and aesthetics, the quality of the car's construction, the attention to detail, and the overall fit and finish, which is light years ahead of the cars of yesteryear (which we still love!) To all who made TVR so welcome at this annual pilgrimage, we thank you.
After Burghley, the car was whisked to the the London Motor Show at the ExCeL, where it was invited to feature in the 'Built-In-Britain' display. Accompanied by a late model heritage Griffith 500 that was kindly provided by a local owner, (thank you Aaron!) the pair attracted a suitable degree of attention throughout the duration of the show – especially when the new Griffith was fired up from time to time, sounding truly epic within the confines of the hall.
Where can the car be seen next?
The following appearances are currently scheduled (but as ever, without sounding all 'e + oe' please check back before travelling as the car is in huge demand and some plans are subject to change accordingly)
June 7th / 8th – London City Concours
June 15th – 17th – Le Mans 24h – supporting the official Rebellion Racing entry and leading the drivers parade on Friday 15th.
July 20th – 22nd – Silverstone Classic Event (On Track)
August 4th / 5th – Supercar weekend with TVR Car Club at Beaulieu Motor Museum
Further appearances will be added as confirmed, so please keep checking back!

2020 BMW iX3 To Be Manufactured In China
26 Apr 2018, 19:13 UTC · by Mircea Panait
/ Home / News / Car Profile
Ahead of the 2018 Beijing Motor Show, BMW confirmed that the X3 would be made at the Dadong plant in Shenyang in addition to the Spartanburg plant in the United States, serving the People’s Republic and other markets in Asia.
13 photosWhat we didn’t know, however, was if the iX3 electric crossover based on the X3 would be manufactured in the Middle Kingdom as well. And as the headline implies, it will.
From Automotive News: “BMW plans to begin producing its first full-electric SUV, dubbed the iX3, in 2020 at its joint-venture plant in the northern city of Shenyang.” According to the report, the German automaker and Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. “will sell the model abroad.”
BMW offered potential customers an early taste of the car at Auto China 2018, with the iX3 looking extremely similar to the X3. The kidney grilles and design of the bumpers are the biggest changes, as is the charging port door on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The door will be shared with the X3 iPerformance plug-in hybrid as well.
Contrary to expectations, the concept features one electric motor instead of a dual-motor setup in the same vein as Tesla and Jaguar. Quoted to develop more than 270 horsepower, the iX3 will deliver “over 400 kilometers (249 miles)” of range in the WLTP test cycle.
The lithium-ion battery, on the other hand, has a net capacity of “over 70 kWh.” For reference, the Tesla Model S comes from the get-go with 75 kWh and the much, much smaller Chevrolet Bolt relies on the energy stored in a 60-kWh battery pack.
When all is said and done, the iX3 isn't a bad effort at all. In fact, it’s the building block towards “fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology.” By that, the automaker refers to an electric drivetrain that will launch in 2021. The party piece is the driving range, estimated at 700 kilometers (435 miles).
