First time I've seen another Griff with the same JP sports exhaust manifolds as I have.
I wonder if he had to alter the inner wing as I did.
I have to say its a pretty good spec.
Im not sure I agree with the 'lightweight' name though. Throwing out all the interior doesn't necessarily qualify a car as a 'lightweight' IMHO

New chassis - good. Total loss wouldn't concern me too much if 10k was spent afterwards - Team Central were main dealers back in the day, so it should have been done right.
Engine not tried since 2012 - ouch.
If that's worth getting on for 7 grand so far... ker-ching smile

'ang on you just got yours right? It's too cheap... repeat after me...its worth a good 10 grand hehe
I'd rather try and glue a new dashboard on the silver one - looks much more interesting - JP bits, T5, suspension. And (always a bonus) it actually runs smile

To clarify -
Blue one - run, mainly because it doesn't.
Silver one - could work, and if he has all the bits he took off someone could be onto a winner...
To further muddy the waters another cat D barn find blue one hehe

50 mins to go on the blue 400, over 8 grand now, a good half a dozen bidders. He's obviously been asked loads of questions.
Mystic Andy predicts close to 9 grand.
Good news for Griff values smile
