Does a TVR Griffith 500 count as a classic yet?

Looks fantastic, love the wheels and the way it sits.

Thanks, the wheels were a bit of a project and it's sitting on adjustable dampers approx. 20mm lower.

Nice looking Escort. Being a teenager in the early 70's I grew up with these but have never heard them called "Bubbles", what's that for?

I don't think you're old enough to drive if you talk like that.

"Bubble" wheel arch extensions.....

[RichB]

Ah right, never heard that one before.

My Safari at the most depressing part of a resto.The one you look at and thing and think it will never become a car again. A lot of new metal has already been added, but still loads more to be changed, icluding floors, front to back.


At least the drivetrain looks good.

Impressive work and inboard loveliness, a monster project.

Thanks for the knowledge!

Always loved the Griff, probably since the time Peter Tomlain road tested one for Performance Car magazine back in 91/92

Are you sure, RichB? More Chimaeras, true, but the ratio is likely less than 3:1.
A bit less than 2,300 Griffs versus around 6,000 chimaeras seems best bet.

I am very priviledged to have these two in the garage. I am merely a caretaker in the grand scheme as these are proper heirlooms having been bought new by my grandfather.

DB6 Volante Mk1

Love that! My father bought and restored a Mk 2 Vantage Volante in the early 80s, said it's the one car he would like back today!

I could check; certainly the figure of 9:1 sticks in my mind but that may have been output towards the end of the era however the Griff was around for several years before the Chimaera appeared.

Was there really any need for that?

Just dribbled coffee on my keyboard.
Stunning, just stunning, and to think when I was a teenager I had 2 mates who had Mexico's etc and we thought nothing of it, Phahhhh, an old Escort, if only.
