TVR Griffith 500 1999

I never thought I’d write this, certainly not for a few years yet, but we’ve taken the incredibly difficult decision to sell our gorgeous 1999 Griffith 500!

This is purely for reasons relating to (& following) my stroke last year & nothing to do with any issues with the car, it’s the driver that’s not up to scratch anymore & for us to continue doing what we love we need something we can both drive.

This is a very well-known car, it’s a high miler (112.5k) but the only part of the car that’s done that is the carpet!

It's Ruby Mica Red with a cream and red interior and has PAS. This is our second Griff which we’ve owned for 15 years & during that time it’s wanted for nothing & has been maintained to the highest standard by Dan at Taylor TVR.

The work carried out includes a complete engine rebuild at TVR Power (with new cam & crank), body off chassis restoration with new outriggers, sand blasted, zinc plated & powder coated white, all suspension parts done & at the same time the underside of the car was painted & all engine bay & bonnet heatshields replaced. New ally radiator (never goes over 90 degrees) with fan override on the steering column, electrics & immobiliser including boot opening on key fob sorted by Carl Baker, wiper mechanism & motor completely replaced, Anderson connector on front chassis rail, ceramic plug extenders & appropriate leads, uprated water & fuel hoses & braided brake hoses, new(ish) Y piece & manifolds fitted (only 14k miles on them), the cats are in but the sports exhaust sounds wonderful. It had new rear shocks & a new windscreen fitted just last month, a new battery went in last week & I got Dan to thoroughly inspect all the fuses & electrics in the passenger footwell.

It has a full service history from day one, it drives like a dream & pulls like a train, the file we have has so much more but you need to see it which I’m happy to go through with anyone who might be interested.

Be aware Miles from HPC classics thinks it is the best Griffith 500 he has ever driven and he’s happy to chat to any interested parties about the car too.

The asking price includes the number plate T555 FUN

Please also be aware two new rear tyres (Toyos) have just been fitted & it sailed through its MOT in October.
