Hi folks.

Hoping to join you lot soon and am looking for suitable (not to be laughed off the planet) questions to ask when looking at someones pride and joy.


what questions did you ask when buying your Griff? that gave you the most information to base your purchase on.

I am in serious danger of drooling too much and the inability to say no to the first car I come across.

Help!

Thanks for this.

Answers: Ding because years ago I parked next to my brother (the infamous PlanetDave) opened the door, the wind did the rest, honest. He has never let me forget it!

As to which variety I have deceided to go for a 5 as I am an idiot. (no excuses).
Looking at the earliest (oldest) I can get with PAS. around '95.
As to price can only comment on lowest price I can get away with. (Have been researching this all summer so think I have an idea as to what they are going for).

I have Steve Heaths book and have been reading it like a maniac, as friend keeps throwing questions at me.
A list would be good as I am sure that other people would be interested.

Keep going as I am keen to collate as much info as possible.

Thanks to everyone, you do realise though that once purchased I will be on here picking your brains for everything I can think of.

I'm also thinking of a griff, with a 15k budget, is the 500 much better/quicker than a 4.3, how much is a '94


It's mine!

there are cars about under 15k but few and far between. (sellers please pay no attention to this) I spoke to a dealer friend and he told me I would not get a Griff 5 under 15k in decent nick.



the list is great.

I intend to prove him wrong.

Ooops caught out now.

I will be phoning you!
Was given your number on Tuesday by a friend who recommends I take a look.
the problem is the distance to view.
