Ho ho! Once popularised by none other than the Princess Royal (Princess Anne) the expression naff (she famously once told a journalist to "naff off" or should that be orf?) allegedly standing for "Nasty as F***" is this possibly what Steve is implying here? Anyway, this expression has passed into our language and can now be found in the Oxford Dictionery no less. So yes.....unfortunate name for a car...and maybe appropriate for a purist GT40 replica builder.
