I saw this early this morning, they have been very quiet in the cage forum. Perhaps playing golf as a nice day I wonder? That, or hiding incase we see there are at least 2 PINK Chimps out there. But if your (Gay) pride and joy was designed by a dog, guess anything like the colour to take away the sheer mishap of design over function as in this case,then perhaps it is more understood.

you lads should get over there and retaliate, mpoxon was playing henry kissenger last night and the chim v griff banter was almost a thing of the past, I `ve pointed out the error of their ways and hopefully got things back to normal, but it wont work if you don`t jump over the fence and dish it backhehe

I like the quote from the link in the original post:

"I remember a pink Chimaera going down the production line circa 1998/99 and being told it was for the guy who designed Mr Blobby and that it was his second new pink Chimaera he'd ordered."

Need I say more laugh

There was also a pink Griffith, saw it on the production line in 92, was a Porsche colour, so Chimerea owners, you are not alone!

This car was owned at one point by the editor of a TVR book/mag or something. Really nice guy, and spent a while there with him. It was porsche purple marsala something or other with light leather. I went and had a look at it when it was for sale about 7 yrs ago, 4.3 BV I think. Was in the Bude area of Cornwall.

Sounded fantastic, great condition and actually looked fantastic in the flesh. Sadly my then partner was anti the colour.

^^^^^^^^
The Marsala 4.3 BV Griff once belonged to Tony Connor, erstwhile Sprint editor and all-round top bloke.

The Chimp boys are going to love this, the 'Pink' Griff was used by Clive Reed for his Zertec product development, see here:
