I bought the dark blue one.

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago that I posted a thread posing the question, which should I buy? The choice being between a low mileage Griff or a higher mileage with TVR Power engine rebuild here
Well, after extensive mulling over, I ignored at least half of you and bought the one that made my legs go funny; the engine rebuild jobby. I only picked it up proper on Saturday after Fernhurst, without quibble, undertook all of the (largely completely unreasonable!) demands I had asked of them.

It's bloody glorious. As much as I loved my old Chim 400, this is a completely different beast. Absolutely the dogs danglies.

So thanks all, for your input into helping me decide. Although, either way, I couldn't really go wrong!

Cheers, Stuart





Oh yes, and as Moycie said "it's a horrible choice, usually only made easy if it's the right colour..." Quite biggrin

  • Also.. That is what these cars are about, irrational and purchased from the heart.

I wholly agree! But, sometimes, just sometimes, my head tries to get the better of me....
