It's been over a year since I sold my Griff and went all Tvr classic. Well as much as I enjoyed restoring the them I just missed the Griff the noise the open top and the power. Well today I put a deposit on another one. Picking it up a in a couple of weeks. Will post pictures up when I get her home.

Yes Paul the one I spoke to you about. Had a drive in it and its phenomenal power way more than the last one I had.
I will be keeping the Vixen as I am still on with the restoration but the ML may be getting sold. I could put it into storage for a while but I think its spent to much of its life already not being used.
Thanks for the welcome back, shame I cant make the Growl this year but will do next year.

Jim it's going to be well looked after and driven how it deserves to be driven. Stuck in Greece at the moment on holiday and chomping at the bit to get back so I can get her home.

Yes is has upgraded headlights not sure if I'm a big fan of them yet but fairly easy to return to standard if needed as it's just the pods you would need to change. Went out for a quick spin this morning before the rain came down an all I can say is the car is biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin ridiculously fast. Few little jobs to do one being the heater is blowing hot all the time and you can't turn the interior fans totally off so very hot in the cabin even with the roof off. Will get it down to work and on the ramps in the near future just to check everything is ok but it drives and corners like its on rails with no unwanted bangs and crashes so all should be good.
