New Griffith 500 Owner - Peterborough
Discussion
First time TVR owner, and I love it!
I've had my Griffith a couple of months now and definitely think it was the better choice over an M3, of which there was much deliberation.
It's a 1995 Griffith 500 in Cobalt Blue and had 41k on when I bought it.
The last guy owned the car for 16 years and while it was loved there are still lots of bits for me to sort out, mainly cosmetic. The engine, chassis and outriggers are all good.
I have just had a full 12k service, new front wishbones, full wheel alignment and quite a few other little issues sorted by Mat Smith, who I would recommend to anyone.
Is there anyone else with a TVR around this way? I'm just north of Peterborough and if you're local I'm sure you'll recognise my picture location.
Anyway, this post is useless without pics, so have a couple of quick pics from the other weekend.

Not far from you, located in Bourne.
Lovely looking car.
Unfortunately mine is SORN at the mo due to a variety of reasons; knee injury; work getting in the way etc.
Hope to have it back on the road next spring with a GEMS ecu upgrade....
Your photo location looks familiar but can't quite place it

Lee, Welcome
I have a 4.3 Precat Griff (Ocean haze), owned since 2005. Currently live near Deeping (North of Peterborough). Work in Peterborough at a large engineering company, mine is the only Griff you'll see in the carpark, but there are 5 Chimps!
Not far from you at all. I saw 2 dark blue Chimaeras yesterday morning heading in the direction of a large employer in Peterborough. Maybe they are 2 of the 5?I have a 4.3 Precat Griff (Ocean haze), owned since 2005. Currently live near Deeping (North of Peterborough).
