I`m on the threshold of enquiring on this Griffith. Subject to an extensive restoration the car at present is with a Belgian dealer,lefthand drive although with an English registration, chassis number 0119.
I`ve had a brief glance through both the Filby ad Robson books with no result,grateful for any history.

In The Griffith Years by Mike Mooney on pages 88 - 91 it mentions that there are two cars that trace back to vin 200-5-119, one was originaly purchased by Paul Plummer and modded. The other brought by Charlie Terhune

Thank you,I`m awaiting the arrival of a recently sourced Mooney volume,no doubt caught in the holiday post.
Neither name yielded anything on an internet search but what really interests me is the recent,pre restoration,history.What I`m not looking for is a carbon copy of the recent Silverstone Auction car.

There has been another thread about this car, see ' 1965 tvr griffith for sale'

The car was exchanged for an E-type with JD Classics in early November last, apparently after a rebuild at Greenwood Motorsport, Stevenage (who's web-site is closed ...........)
