Project Griffith 200 Fun for Someone
Discussion
As Fiscar points out it needs massive work even to get FIA papers let alone be competitive
The upside to spending prob £80k prepping it to race winning spec is that the only part you would need would be the chassis plate hence you could have two cars
You could run it in CSCC swinging sixties or similar as it stands with some race prep

Heres a thought.. Why not just prepare the car with a proper cage, exhaust and seat. Fit a proper plumbed in extinguisher and all the correct safety equipment, then go over the existing mechanicals and race it in a nice friendly NON international club event. Don't bother adorning it in any false gloss lippy and just let it continue ageing gracefully whilst enjoying the fun it will bring!!

that has a familiar ring, to it. Oh, wait, that's because it is, essentially, what I suggested earlier. N.
The car's real value pretty much stems from its as-is condition. Change it, and that portion of its value disappears. Might as well start with a rusty pile of bolts, then.

Hahaha! OK, I'll start. N.
Hi my name is Bernard, and I am a TVRoholic. My low point came . . . Actually, this is the low point, with me living under the bridge, but still buying jewelry, for the car.
Well, not sure if that made me feel better, too much reality slipped in. Hahaha!

£74 000 its a large hook but the racing guys that are building race prepared cars are spending more than double that to get them to FIA spec

.. fair comment,but as I'm sure is appreciated this car is not FIA eligible.Andrew
Incidentally,I believe the grey 200 is on offer for circa 125,000 Euros !
