Hi there

Thanks for the tips at Blythe's today, really appreciate your time...

Lovely car, but something just didn't gel with me, hard to put my finger on it but if I'm buying one of these beauties I just have to love it!

In the meantime, I'll keep looking for the right one!

Cheers.

Hi Lyn

Day off today, just seen that the Cooper Green car sold - thought you'd bought it!

Note you've been chatting to DustyC....he's the unofficial independent peoples spokesperson for all things Griff you know. I bet he said "Don't buy the first one you see!"

Good Luck with your continuing search.

Peter (apprentice)

Then on the basis that



a) Adam is advising you
b) about 3000 Griffs were ever produced
c) Adam isn't selling his yet
d) You've just turned one down



You've got about 2998 Griffs to view and at .......



......oooooh about 108 viewings each weekend.........



.......there's every chance you'll have found the one by Christmas!!!

See, getting easier by the minute....


Look on the bright side!


If you get a DustyC-style restricted mileage policy, you probably won't use it all up in December!

Only just seen this (thanks pies).

Was nice to meet you at Adrian Blyths.
In my opinion that Griff was perfect and for the record I recommended as a very good purchase.

Im not too keen on green myself but would have still struggled to walk away from it. Then again, I did just that when I was hunting around and ended with one I really really like, so all is not lost!

Nothing wrong with Green, just not to my taste.

Please feel free to email me (via my profile) and I will send you loads of Griff info and let you borrow my anorak
(May be away from desk sorting Le Mans stuff this week though so please excuse the delay).

and in answer to all you scumbags....bugger off!

(I went to AB's to look at a Noble, so there!).

It was an A1 Griff and I would recommend it to anyone. Seems like it may have gone already though so I wont bother recommending it any further!

My restricted milage policy? I decided that it may not be any use on the first day, 507 miles!

Since then I have held myself back a bit though.
2000 in the first month and then I think only 1000 in the second month.

However, Im covering them quicker and quicker but seem to be getting to less places

One more thing, I didnt get to tell you how much owning a TVR changes your social life. It seems that we have to chose which event to go to each weekend now!
Just ask around on here or see the events forum and the TVR general fourm and you'll see what I mean.
THere are regional forums for events now too.

The biggest cost that we didnt prepare for is the amount of pub lunches/dinners we now have as an excuse to go out in the Griff!

The other thing I cant remember if I mentioned or not was that joining the TVRCC is a very good idea. You can go to the meets without owning a car and everyone will be most helpful and happy to show you around their cars.
it seems like you have already decied which one you want though. Good choice too, its the best TVR there is IMO.

That would be me that bought the Green Griff.
I was there Saturday morning too (the short fat bloke lurking by the burgandy griff!) so I guess it was you there at the time. I managed to hear some of your views on the Griff but at the time I wanted to kill you for encouraging someone else to buy it before I got the chance

Well done on your immaculate choice of a Griff

So sorry it had to be at Adrian's.......










Only jesting - it's hard to see where you could do better!
