Wondering whether to sell my Griff to get a tuscan or tamora. My budget will be what I may sell my Griff for.
Is that a wise decision or not? Is there any one out there thinking of selling?

Must be the Tamora, sorry, Tuscan owners.
T350 and Tamora are the best handling TVR´s off the shelf. You might find a sorted Tuscan, but you would miss the full roof off experience, wouldn´t you?

When was the last time you drove your Griffs ?

I go through this thought process every winter, then I drive the Griff and think I must have had a bit of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and a damned good drive with the roof down has replenished my Vitamin D and all is well in the world again and I can't for the life of me think why I'd sell the Griff.

Sorry but you have confused me but that's not hard, I might be reading your reply wrong

Tuscans & Tamoras have remove able roofs

T350,s don't have fully remove able roofs but do have Targa tops

I came from a Chim 450 to Tamora, the difference in handling and composure on the road was like night and day. I found that I can drive the Tamora a lot quicker, and go round corners a lot safer than I ever dared in the Chim. I suspect the Griffith would garner more or less the same experiences.

That'd be great, I may very well do that thanks! smile

I guess for me I just can't shake the feeling that I want something that looks more up to date than the griff. Sometimes I look at it and hate the simplistic roundedness of it compared to the more contemporary styling of the Tamora, though I accept that I'd be losing something classic and iconic. I guess with the griff people who weren't aware of them may say "wow, that's lovely, what is it?" Where as with the Tamora they may say "wow, that's lovely; what is it, some sort of MG?"... scratchchin

I went from a Griff 500 to a Tamora - like chalk and cheese and I don't regret it for a moment.

Each to their own though, two great cars just vastly different so make sure you drive what ever cars you consider.

Good luck with your decision

Keep the Griff, buy a Tam as well - there's always a way (eg do you really need two kidneys?)
Alternatively, save up until Ant has owned his for 7 more years and done all the work, then buy it off him.. biggrin

Probably my wording Gary.
What I meant was I get itchy every winter and start thinking about getting something different or newer - probably a Tamora or a Tuscan too, because I'm a no roof kind of guy - but then I go out in the Griff and fall back in love with it again.
