Hi specification Griff's

[Uncle Fester]

I was talking to Clever Trevor this week, ordering a serp belt.
That bought up the subject of PAS & air conditioning.

He said that my car was very unusual. It has BOTH A/C & PAS.

So I started wondering just how many Griff's were built with PAS, how many with A/C and how many with both?

Apparently, few were built with both and hardly any were built for the UK.

Now people keep starting threads wanting to fit one or the other. Clearly these desirable options, which would cost quite a bit to retrofit.

That begs the question how much these options add to a Griff's value? Presumably the fewer there are, the bigger the price premium. I'm not selling, but if I ever did, how much more would I ask above an equivalent condition Griff?

So to get an idea of how many, lets have a list if you have either or both.

1)Fester Both

3 - Alex Gurr - PAS (although only because my wife drives the car (I don't need it, honest )

dnb - PAS only.

BTW, I hope the HVAC box for AC is better designed than the standard one! From what I've seen from mine, the "standard" kit has precicely a snowball's chance in hell of working properly...

I haven't seen the heater box to know, but it gets the job done.

How do you get a thread to be a nice list like the pre-cats thread on this page?

If I'm right you create a wiki rather than a topic and then you get a nice list

Both. It was quite a common option in the late 90s.

[OscarT]

Hmm - neither are needed in a Griffith IMO - some of the production line guys must have mistaken them for Chimaeras - sports cars are like women, the best ones don't need face lifts or boob jobs.

I've created one here if you'd like to add to it ...

Maybe get a mod to close this one so's we don't duplicate?
