Apache Orange 500 On Car and Classic

[neutral 3]

Was it someone's on here ? And Anyone else seen this one ?

A very Striking exterior color, which the seller says is " Apache Orange " and which I'm guessing is non original ?
Interior is green, which I would have to change instantly. Dash is alloy sadly.
Only looked at it on this phone, not sure if it's Metalic either, so I cant make up my mind whether it's a great color for a Griff.

Its a right hand drive car and It's for sale in Belgium, advert doesn't say how long ago it was imported, but it's up @ circa 21,000.

Must admit, I would love a Griff painted in that stunning Sagaris F1 Green.

I have been having a good look at what's for sale @ the moment and it appears that Griffs are steadily rising in value !

So no one recognise or remember this Griff ? It's very distinctive so surely someone must ??

Don't know anything about the car, but would it be this one. Its on the thread of Best Griff pics on here. Looks stunning.

Morning Carsy, yes looks like the same car, British plate appears to have been N221 EMD. That color has really grown on me, looks superb, but surely a later re paint ?
It seems that a lof Griffs have gone to Europe over the years sadly probably never to return.

This was 'Apache's' Griff I recon. Stunning colour. Looks like the wheels have been changed from the RL7s.

Just looked at You Tube, yes that must be the same car. You Tube film was circa 2007 i think.

Just love that color, mine needs some paint and if i could find some cash......

Just Found it on the DVLA site, N221-EWD, 1-8-95 and tax expired 20-1-2005. Export marker YES.
Looks like it went to Europe a fair few years ago.

If anyone is thinking of buying a Griff, this is a stunner.

Wish i had seen it when i bought my first one, N435 DDY , though to be fair, DDY was a superb example.

If any one fancies this car, i can go out and collect it, as i frequently take and bring cars back from Europe. PM me for details.

Love the colour and always admired this Griff .... to the point I going to get my old jeep cheeroke (old square type) respayed in this colour..... (providing sale falls through ... stupidly sold it and now trying to put buyer off....it aint a Griff but love it for local driving... merc is PIA )

[neutral 3]

Morning Hoover, have you seen this Griff in the flesh ?
And yes, your Jeep would look very cool in Apache. Just been thinking about All of the cars and bikes I now deeply regret selling !

Im sure that's the original colour as painted at the factoy - Vauxhall Apache Gold , looks far better on a Griffith than it does on a Corsa.

[neutral 3]

So it was a Vauxhall color. The Only Griff ever factory painted in this color perhaps ?

[neutral 3]

This one is still advertised on Car and Classic, no one fancy it ?

Can't recall a corsa ever being in this colour, most definitely a Tigra colour though (could be wrong but ex vauxhall tech)

Will say the Apache Griff is one of my all time favourites.

Yes, I seem to recal a Tigra in that color parked in my road in the mid 90s when I lived in London. But it was a pretty rare Tigra color.
It looks like it's got Cats fitted ( which the guy needed for my first one to get get it through its German TUV) .
This Griff has got to be the best color I have ever seen one in ( along with Chameleon )

Come on someone, let's get it back to Blighty !

You seem keen enough? For me if I was in the market, 20k for a 95 500 is a little steep, and it needs shipping from Luxembourg. Nice enough colour but the interior is another matter. And someone seems to have been messing under bonnet?

Too many other cars around me at the mo. 20K is the advertised price, less would surely buy it.

If it is Apache then that would be because it has been returned to an injected set up because it was running a 4 barrel Edelbrock. The colour is Apache Pearl or Paganbronze, a Vauxhall colour seen on Tigras
