New (old) 430

[lordgrover]

Well, I've finally done it... After many months of searching for a Chimaera 500, I've just done the deal on a Griffith 430. Have to wait a week while the cheque clears...

Saturday week I'll be all Griffed-up! Yay for me!

well done mate, make sure you come to the growl this summer!

Nice choice Grovey
Just about the best sounding TVR on tickover

Its what swayed me into buying mine. Just standing behind a 4.3 on tickover is awesome. The ground shakes!

Have fun and keep it on the black stuff.

I'd love to... but I haven't got a beard, nor a cardie neither, though I think my neighbour has a pair of sandals I can borrow...

Count me in - I'll be there!

Welcome to the best and most elite club in the world You couldn't have picked a better model.
Just go easy out there this time of year (you can go plenty mental when its warm and dry )and no complaining when you haven't got enough boot space eh

[LordGrover]

Ooh! Does it have a boot then? Or do you refer to the cubby hole for the lid?

Welcome to the fold - from a friendly local (nr Thornbury) - probably won't make Sunday's run but hope to see you at TVRCC Bristol the following Sunday? Where are you picking the car up from? See you around, Paul.

Hi Ian.....thanks for the mail! Bet you can't wait for Saturday??

I thought I was the only one, who after initially looking at Chims for my first venture into TVR ownership, finds himself drawn to a Griff

Hope to be a fellow owner soon, got the money sorted, the insurance wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Bring it on

Assuming weather's ok, I'm hoping to make both - any excuse. Picking it up from Thame, two hour drive but what the heck?

Nope! Hardly slept since I gave him the cheque... It's like a four year olds christmas, only much worse

You may like to look at my thread here re insurance - I've had an unpleasant surprise.
