I've ''lost'' my Griffith roof....:-((

[panic]

I can't find my Griffith roof, might have been lost, forgotten in a garage or taken by a tire kicker...anyhow, where could i buy a new one??

Don't Panic you don't need it.

Infact i didnt use it for 3 years now, even during winter...but getting older it seems i tend to enjoy warmer environments....

I've just ordered one from the guy on eBay (featured on the GriffithPages). I'm just waiting for it to arrive so I'll let you know what it's like. £295 + p&p

Thats a new covering

You may be able to get one from one of the TVR breakers - Douglas Valley and I think Bellhill Garage - but not sure how silly the price would be.
Worth asking though.

PS Just thought - I think V8GRF was looking at trying to do a 2 piece targa section for easier stowage so could be worth asking him if he's got anywhere with it yet??

I'd be indeed interested in a 2 pieces roof....

Have a link pls?

If its just the targa bit you're looking for they come up on ebay now and again.
Prices I've seen are between £75 and £175 and you'll may have to get it recovered to match the rest of the roof.

If its the full roof, I know Ballistic Bananananananana has bought and recommends the roof from David Hamberton (sp?) - have a search for his replies because I know he's recommended this to someone recently.

[daveb500]

The roof from David Hamberton is the one I've just bought (but haven't received yet). Obviously though as "Del 203" kindly pointed out, this only includes the "soft bits".

[panic]

Well, all i need is the targa small piece...

Luckly i didnt loose the whole roof!

[jimed]

You can contact V8GRF by searching for him in the members list then sending him a PM/email.

Surface and Design are currently developing a two piece roof.

It might be worth asking them how close to available it is.

Yep that's mine, we're working on it together.

Last time we spoke it was prior to them moving back into Bristol Avenue and we were trying to work out how the seal should work, without having to resort to using clips.

Yea I know you've done it but remember we were trying to be smart and cut it across rather than back to front

[Del 203]

Will it still lay on top of a full boot if its cut that way ?

Yes, but one of the reason's I cut it that way was because of the mistaken belief that cutting it front to back wouldn't as I'd neve seen anyone pack their boot that way The other reason was we thought it would be easier to seal that way as well but althought the idea is sound it causes problems of it's own. Not insurmountable but problem nevertheless.

Always handy when driving to LeMans if it ps down





Have you any pics of the full width roof in the boot ? I'm finding it difficult to imagine how it stows & how you get it in/out with a full boot, still think its a big (wide) peg & little hole
