Wonder how many out of the twelve pictured 600s were actually finished?

Surely none of those are Griffith 600...but either Intermeccanica Torino's or Italia's.

That was the firm that made them Adrian for Jack Griffith and branded Giffith 600 in the same way a TVR was branded a Griffith 200 02 400

That I understand and have done for many years...thanks, I was just picking that up on behalf of the actual Griffith 600 owners. LOL.

That 600 looks a lot like a Jensen Healey, or vice versa.....?

the black 600 looks gorgeous me thinks, I also think it would be a nice car to drive, a tiny bit more GT I guess.
Has someone here on PH ever driven with such car?

Sadly, Jack Griffith assembled only a few examples, said to be between 6 and 10, of the Griffith 600 due to dock strike delays in receiving the bodies from Italy, which caused him to simply run out of money, resulting in his company having to cease trading. - See more at: http://www.sportscar2.com/sports-car-tvr-griffith-...

so not many...the rest>

And that was that. No more Griffiths. Jack Griffith's enthusiasm seems to have surpassed his business sense in this case, and the 600 ended up almost-dead-on-arrival. Luckily, Intermeccanica continued to build cars based on the Griffith 600 concept even after the small run of Omega-branded vehicles. These later models, labeled Intermeccanica Torino and then Italia, were more commercially successful with about 500 units sold.
