Griffith v Chim

[bitrevor]

Hi Guy's
Just about to start looking for a TVR and had decided on a Chim but looking around I could also get a Griffith with the £10K

So here is the big question what would you go for?

Thanks

Judging by your forum name you swing both ways, so I'd go for the Chim

But seriously you'll probably struggle to find a good Griff for your 10k budget. The griff's command a premium over the Chims (a lot rarer) so you're a lot more likely to find a nicer Chim for that kind of money.

You do have a budget for maintenance too, don't you?

Thanks some times i wish I had thought about the name more. Good advice on all fronts, as for the servicing I like dirt on my hand and under the finger nails which probable saves me from the Bi reference

Ive had both, the Chim is a more useable everyday car with a bigger boot. However its not as raw as the Griff and i think the Griff is a lot less forgiving but more of an an adrenaline rush to drive, which is what i was after.

Try them both, the only thing i would add is its better to buy a good condition Chim than scrape by with a Griff that hasnt been looked after as well, it will cost you more in the long run. Condition really is everything.

Hope that helps
