Pre Serp or Serp

Evening all,

When I've restored and flogged my S1 Elise, I fully intend to buy a Griff. I've considered other cars like a 911, DB7, Jag XKR etc. but for me the Griffith always rises to the top of the short list........

Anyway, I'm doing my research via The Bible and alike and whilst I know there are differences in the two engine types I'm left wondering what the general opinion is, i.e. is the Serp better than the pre Serp, or, if properly sorted / maintained are they as good as each other, etc. etc.

Your thoughts / opinions concerning the attributes of each would be appreciated

Just my opinion but I wouldn't rule out a car because it's not a later serp engine - just buy on overall condition. Plus the precats were all preserp - and ignoring them would be a huge mistake

Thanks for the replies all, much appreciated.

Like I said I'm not ready to buy yet but it doesn't harm to do my research up front.

I haven't found a huge amount that would force me to preclude Pre-Serps so as you say, buy on overall condition.

Thanks again

Ian
