GROWL - Noteworthy Griff line up

[FlipFlopGriff]

I'm sure we can do this again this year with the following at the BBQ so assume the cars will be there anyway:

Griff 400 - 1965 (originally thought it was 66 so must be late 65)
J524MHG - Press car
J631NFV - Press car
L110BFV - Press car
L118BFV - Press car - be good to see the 2 sister cars together.
LJ03ZFZ - Last Griff registered (still undisputed)- still the case Roger?

Not sure if Pete Reeson's coming - Del?
Has Mack still got Jenny - first production car?
Tweety - first customer car?
The elusive cureton green 500 press car?
Jason Cooke sold up?
Any more for any more?
Jeffsy - should we let him in?

It's sort of noteworthy. At least it keeps him polishing and out of your hair for a tad longer.

Wish I did Paul, I know several early Cureton green 500's. If anyone has a reg no. or any early ownership history we may get lucky.

Mine was registered on 4th July 2003, so think it may be the last one registered, but not 100% certain. (No 65) V8 EUR.

Not sure the registration date of Rogers but i'm sure he'll be along soon. Is it on his website?

I'd like to think L110BFV will be there,but it's a very close call at the moment.I think the 'sister' car is L118BFV?While where at it Paul,as your the historian for this forum,any idea how they managed to get such close registrations when they were made a fair bit apart?Was it deliberate,or purely coincidental?

[garyc3481]

Sounds good, hopefully the engine will be back in one piece with some time to spare - ive even taken a week off work for all the polishing!!

Rogers was registered in April 2003 i think?What about the pearl white 500 press car?

Hi

While all 100 SE Griffiths are a bit special the really important one is the last one made NOT the last one registered.

Jay

[sprevett]

J524 MHG will be there

[FlipFlopGriff]

Mike - I know it's 118 - just a typo.
you didn't spot the 60's Griff is a 65 not a 66!!!
No idea on wher ethere is a gap. Maybe already allocated somewhere?

Jay - I think the last registered is important but agree the last made is very much so - does anyone know where it is now? Graham Scarsbrook was the last owner and I have tried to get him to join us with no joy to date. If anyone can help would be much obliged.
It's not a definitive list just a line up with an interetsijng story to tell for the newer owners who aren't aware of the history.
