It's been over a year since I sold my Griff and went all Tvr classic. Well as much as I enjoyed restoring the them I just missed the Griff the noise the open top and the power. Well today I put a deposit on another one. Picking it up a in a couple of weeks. Will post pictures up when I get her home.

edit to say the title due to predictive text on the tablet I know it's a Griffith not a Griffin.
could mods please correct it thanks

Yes Paul the one I spoke to you about. Had a drive in it and its phenomenal power way more than the last one I had.
I will be keeping the Vixen as I am still on with the restoration but the ML may be getting sold. I could put it into storage for a while but I think its spent to much of its life already not being used.
Thanks for the welcome back, shame I cant make the Growl this year but will do next year.

Good news Chris, congrats :-)
See you at the drag strip, lol.

It is amazing how many people leave the Griff club and come straight back, just shows how special they are.

Why do I suspect it's not a stock Griff? :-)

Yes a bloody good Griff mine for 8-9 years and probably one of the best handling Griffs around sold at an enthusiast price to an enthusiast .Ive no choice as now living in USA. Good Griffs are great Ive got a 996 GT2 with 620bhp in the garage as an investment come dream car and My Griff!I can still say that, I prefer to drive. Its a good Supercharged Griff. Have fun Chris you got a bloody good car at a bloody good price not a Beaver garage queenbiggrin. a very clean good example. It eats the new M3 with DSG and an audio R8 couldnt shake it off, much to the annoyance of the driver and his glamour chick. Cheers Jim
