Ocean Haze Griffiths ; How many ??

[bomb]

How many are there ?? I was at Chatsworth, and mine was the only Ocean Haze Griff.

I used to have an Ocean Haze 500 with green leather interior.

Loved that car - no idea where it is now?

There was the original factory demonstator one. A car which I have a very clear memory of as I soiled the passenger seat. Before taking delivery of his 4.3BV, Gerry Marshall took me to a TVR track day at Silverstone to make sure I had a good idea as to what the cars were capable of. Travelling at around 130 odd, he overtook a Cerb on the approach to Hanger Bridge by taking to the grass and then drifted it all the way round to Vale. The Luffield Complex wasn't much more relaxing. Happy days.

I think it's the same car that Rick Mayall drove through the Atlantic so I imagine it's pretty shagged and rusty by now.

I know of 4 Starmist Ocean Haze including my own. Clarkson drove one to Switzerland and back.

I had a '95 Ocean Haze 500 with grey leather interior and ocean haze carpets - it looked the dog's ********!

Likewise no idea where it is now. The reg does not show on the DVLA either.

Flipflopgriff owns that one, it had a new chassis after the filming. It will be at the Growl.

Fantastic. I'd assumed it was the same one Clarkson used also?

I think it was the probably the car that got the most people into Tivs.

[bomb]

so are there 4 that we know about and can vouch for ? ( from the text above ).

[EGB]

Green Meanie has one. Another seen in Norfolk and Peterborough area. Could be the same one.

One of my 500s is Juniper Pearl, full leather with biscuit interior and dark green leather dash, biscuit seats. I think it looks the DBs as well. I think it is a darker green than the Ocean Haze although in certain lighting it looks similar (or am I colour blind?)

[EGB]

Mine was Juniper until previous owner from W Yorks did a good Ocean Haze spray. At first I ordered a touch up spray according to the ICI body reg ie Juniper. Wrong, had to reorder Ocean Haze. It and Juniper is a rare desirable colour IMOP. The great Gerry Marshal, Clarkson and P Wheeler and Flip Flop also thought the same.

Well it was at the last Growl, and the one before that, so who knows?

Yes, it's the same one, as Paul has all over the prints in the front window!
