The last 100 of 100 se Griff has sold at fernies , some lucky buyer , what a wonderful car . Amazing price ...
I wonder if the car has an overseas buyer , investor , lottery winner , Wayne Rooney ....

If its sold and not a marketing ploy to raise prices.

Crikey - I thought the 75k in the titled referred to the mileage!

It's good news for the rest of us if it has

[jeboa]

...or not so good news.... I'd like to keep mine, without the insurance premiums going too high....

Amazing price, everything is probably original as well even the hood, which on one of the pictures look abit tatty around the edges against the body. What is worth more a brand new hood or the original old tatty one? I would say the tatty original original

I've seen it up close in Fernhurst's showroom (just bought one myself from there) and it is absolutely mint. Hope it doesn't go in to a collection and never see the light of day.

Yes seen her today and had a sit in her a lucky person who has bought her I suspect a future Garage Queen but who knows.
The best cars will always fetch premium money however it simply reflects the cost of buying a tired 90000 mile car for 18k and having a complete restoration done which done properly is 30 to 50k depending on the level taken to.
Originality sells and I guess as the years pass and collectors rather than drivers buy into the cars its the very original cars that will fetch the premium prices.
Hopefully not to many as we all want to see the cars out being used abused maintained and enjoyed

I don't think it will do any miles at all. If you wanted a good one to drive Fernhurst had a similarly low mileage car for half the price and I doubt that the £75k car will ever be used on the road again.

Personally I think it's great and look forward to the next step up when Fernies no longer have a Griff for sale below £30k.

That car has also sold with only 3000miles on a rather nice red once with cream interior 40K I thought that looked a nicer car and ready to be used and enjoyed

I saw another red Griff when there which had very low mileage but all the white powder coating was flaking off. I'd have thought a body off and strip down and chassis refurb was needed.
