What is it, the Shnozz approach to writing car ads...?!?!

[k77-widow maker]

Naaa this it what it says......

"TVR GRIFFITH 4.0 Pre Cat , 1992 K Reg , 32,000 miles, Silk Violet with Mulberry Leather. What a crisp example this is, original Oz Racing alloys, TVR history,old MOTs etc., noisier than my 22 stone girlfriend snoring after a night on the stellas, a pack of woodbines and a ruby!"

That car has been up for sale since October.... Shhhhhhhh... I might be able to knock him on the price when I am ready to buy.

I like the looks of this one (expensive though I think)..... But a few to look at before I jump in with both feet.

I recall seeing this Griff for sale when I was looking to buy my car, that was way back 13 months ago, can only assume its the colour combo.

I think I saw their Chim being test driven along the A414 last Sunday. I gave the driver a friendly wave as I passed before planting the throttle & watching him dissappear in the rear-view.

I expect he will have gone back and bought the Griff after that

The pale blue one? Looks quite 60's retro to me, quite like it! Rich...

[jamiet]

Silk Violet? Looks just like Paris Blue to me. Great colour nevertheless.

[Hoover33]

Has it really been sitting around for 13 months ...... It can be doing the poor car much good, all the little Gremlins will have started to set to work on it.

Lovely colour combo IMHO... however I think in daylight it will not so bluish

It's well pricey for a 4.0 - I guess that's why it hasn't sold. I love the interior - not sure about the 'silk violet' - not being a silk cut man or a smoker at all...

[WildfireS3]

I do like the colour though.

[scruffy]

So how would I trace the whereabouts of my old griff?

[Wildhound]

Hey guys, Guess what... you know that car you are commenting on, well its MINE! (as from Friday last week!) The Violet silk actually looks great (more of a soft lilacy silver) and in some light it looks more silver. I admit it'd look better with a black hood, but its in great shape none the less. It was a tad pricey, but I beat him down 750 so not so bad after all. Wildy

Good for you - enjoy!

[k77-widow maker]

So then, is it louder than his g/f after a night on the beer, curry & fags??

Well done in joining the pre cat club, i hope you enjoy it!

I haven't met the 22 stoner, but she sounds awsome! Greg the owner of Riverside was a real nice guy to do business with and very helpful and patient. You can recognise him anywhere as he was made to dye his hair bright yellow for a boys weekend away! The violet griff now resides in Bishops Stortford and hopefully will make it to some meets this year, just deciding where. As for the noise...
she's smokin' (but not a woodbine in sight!)

[slinky]

just spotted "This car is not done justice by our pathetic photographer" on the advert for the yellow griff..

made me chuckle..

Was gonna go and check this out myself couple a months back....me g/f figured he was a nutter! Love the colour, darlings. It was the colour in part that really attracted me too but again, er indoors not so keen. Guess also wanting a 500 came into the equasion....ended up with avus blue/mag int.500.
Still like the colour and congrats etc...
Happy

Hi K77

Would like to drop in at Cambridge
Should I phone first? Are these county meets similar, have you tried the Essex meet too?

Bit busy working on the boat at present so will pop in at Cambridge in the near future.

Boys will have their toys!! (and lots of 'em)
