Bedford Autodrome today, three chims (not including mine) a Tuscan, and two Griffs... It's not easy for me to say this, but I have to be honest, Precat's Griff is possibly the best TVR I've ever seen... The damn thing is almost an automotive work of art... highly modified, but everything appears to work just right, have to say, seriously impressed smile I'd buy it tomorrow if he wanted to sell it (which I'm sure he doesn't).

Damn that's one good looking car biggrin

Posting this wasn't easy for me wink

I met Precat down at the Ace cafe a couple of weeks ago and can confirm that his Griff is mighty fine. There is no doubt about that!

No argument there, it's an excellent car.

It's just, you know Nobles, Griffs where's it going to end.

Good question... thing is, they're all very different beasts. It's a bit like having kids, all got the same genes (well Griff and Chim have), but they're characters in their own right with individual personalities smile And improving them is a bit like sending the kids to a good school, they're all the better for it.. Beasties in its teenage years at the moment, exercising its right to be rebellious smile

Anymore photos of the roll bar? Where did you source it and does it restrict legroom with the Tuscan seats?

Love the wheels, and the lights....

....but I might be biased!! wink

I am thinking that big space where the main beams used to be would be a good place for a large intercooler....

Precat’s awesome Griff also has an awesome and proper 4.5 BV engine with Twin Plenum and 320bhp. I know how much time and effort he put into recreating a factory 4.5 BV engine so if you ever decide to sell the engine can I have first refusal.
