Does anybody on here own his car? It was mine from new and has some great memories of a trip to the Monaco GP and the Italian lakes.

It was peacock blue pearl, with blue & mag, turned alloy dash, blue steering wheel, extra loud exhaust.

I would like to buy it back at some point, please let me know if its still around?

Hi just seen your old entry while trying to find some history on what is now W575RUY your old Griffith.
What a coincidence,I swapped to the TVR from a little VX220 so we can tour Italy next year in a little more comfort.
A quick update on car is:
Car has had 8 owners showing about 44,000 miles from memory.
I've spoken with the last owner but 2 who sold car at 40,000 miles .he had fitted a high lift cam and then sold to a chap who in quite a short time wrote it off.
The vehicle was repaired to a commercial standard, headlights modified to speed 6 style and SE style lights at rear, rear lights look good but front looked
pretty ugly.
I've now had for for six months, car is now stripped and repairs reworked ready for repaint next week. Converted back to covered front lights with bonnet vents, SP wheels and new hood waiting to be fitted on completion.
Now for the begging bit the car came with no history could let me know where you purchase vehicle for my file.
Thanks Steve.

If you are also into classic bikes, see if you can fit this event into your itinerary. It's on last weekend June 2015.

While visiting La Festa Della Moto Inglese this July I spotted this Griff. The owner was Italian but the car displayed UK plates, owner said this was allowed over there!!

Just thought this might be of interest to any previous owners if any in the UK.

We were on route to the South on motorbikes and were staying with a friend in Castino. The Festival (Nothing But British) was on so we joined in with the eating and drinking.
