agreed, way to high, would look better if it was lower, specially at the back.

maybe they installed the wrong dampers/springs? to strong maybe.

I'm also a fan of this Griffith, it has something coolness about it, a bit 'raw', love it.

Yes Probably
However when you look through the thread you see how fitting the correct size wheels and tyres make a big difference to how the cars look

A little more History came through about Robins 1800s you don't get history with many cars like this I really wish I had another Garage.
This I very poor quality and Robin is trying to find someone that has a better Quality copy but this really needs adding to the TVRCC Archive I think you need to be on facebook to view.

I was incorrect it was actually red all the time he had it except he painted it green and did not like it so it went back to red
