Rather you didn't tar me with the same brush as yourself Andrew with regards to values.
It will for sell what someone with the Cash is prepared to pay, but it's a chassis plate. No bits on that car can not be replicated or bought, you've proven that with your V6 Tuscan that is trying to be something it's not and be faithful to an original spec car..
What would I pay, doesn't matter does it.
Don't worry John when it come to Paint and Brush we are miles apart my posts try to be positive rather than negative for a start.It will for sell what someone with the Cash is prepared to pay, but it's a chassis plate.

I will give you 30k for your Sagaris if its still for sale as that's all its worth to a working class lad like me
probably needs re commissioned due to lack of use maybe I am over paying A
Be careful with your cheap shots - friendly advice.
Note absence of silly smilies.

You
Get a grip man you'll be sobbing into your Ovaltine in 20 years when they go for the price of a house like all the other Ford V8's are now!!
I have a grip and won't be sobbing anywhere.

Andrew,
You may need to get your hands on a legitimate dictionary.
Best regards,

And even spelt correctly Concours Is a Standard whereby an OEM Standard must be surpassed to a point where perfection is achieved so definitely not how any TVR left any factory! Anyhow…Expensive piece of s
t seems a good description of a car which while seeming original (allbeit with a re-spray and bonnet mods and blah blah blah…..The list goes on) Will need a complete strip down, body and chassis separation and pretty much ground up re-construction by someone who is dedicated, whether paying others to do it or doing it themselves.In all my years of building cars I have never achieved a Concours car let alone a Concours replica of another model of car…I think some are definitely in a minority of 1 in that respect.
As said.. I quite like this one. It looks to be a good project…But it is a very expensive project
is its chassis number listed.. I am quite interested to see where this one sits in the register information I have from a good few years ago…

Well OK then, settle for a quiet weep then and a slack handshake in 2035?V8's are already a big sellers market so it won't get easier.
£40-45K (Its at £37.5K now reserve not met) for a car that will soon cost the owner north of £100K (unless he can do the majority of the work himself) for a restored TVR that will not be a particularly nice car to drive - IMO, now makes it a very expensive piece of s
t.It's an opinion, it's my opinion, it's maybe a little harsh.
But it's partly based on what the car will be like to drive and own at the end of a £50-60K spend and a lot of energy.

$70100.00 and still not at reserve obviously they haven't spoken to the experts as to what they think its worth.
Crazy price though
Andrew
I'm no expert, I have no interest in what old TVRs sell for. Crazy price though
Andrew
And just to add a bit of balance, it's not a crazy price until it's sold.

I'm not sure any potential race car owners would spend this much cash on a chassis plate for a Griffith yet and a chassis plate is all a racer would reuse in all probability, but it's a strange world.
What an enthusiast is prepared to spend does not always confirm to any thing like logic..
I hope everyone involved gets what they want from the eBay exercise.

$103,000 reserve not met and no sale. There are cars fully restored for sale here in uk and Europe for not much more. If it is being purchased for a race car then why not get one built from scratch. Some people have more money than sense
Looks like any bidders and the owner may have been very good friends.....I'm not sure any potential race car owners would spend this much cash on a chassis plate for a Griffith yet and a chassis plate is all a racer would reuse in all probability, but it's a strange world.

How about this one

The auction psrticulars suggest that the Griffith project was initiated by a dinner between Jack Griffith and Caroll Shelby - any substance to this. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/t...
The car is not listed as sold on Coys website.
As an aside they seem to have used pictures of 3 different cars for the advert.

Not that I know anything about Griffith's.

The Griffith JNP 617C is Mike Whitaker's very successful FIA car and should not be in this advert as it is not foe sale.http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/t...
The photo has been hijacked from Flickr and was taken by Robert Knight at Oulton Park on 17th Mar 2012.
The car for sale was campaigned by Heiner Schult in Europe. I can find no record of this car being sold.
This car would need extensive work in order to comply with current FIA requirements.
