Hi, a newbie here and contemplating buying a Griff. Does anyone know anything about the blue 4.3 pre cat for sale at Schmoo automotive? Looks nice but just discovered a you tube clip of it being gunned and another showing it smoking quite a bit when revved...

Oh great. It looked like it was smoking a lot!... I haven't seen the car in the flesh yet but thinking of going up to Liecs to view it.

In your opinion, what is it really like?

To be honest i never really noticed the smoke,I did the video early in my ownership and had untold work done to that car to improve,On the advert it says £8k spent! believe me when i say it was more than that.
I had quite a few issue's with the car mechanically, but every single thing was addressed and resolved.
God i miss that car bad and if i had more garage space i would never have sold it.
I really cannot believe that car has not sold at that price,I don't think it would be easy to find a better 4.3 pre-cat than that one.
Go and have a look and judge for yourself.

Good luck

Dean.

Smoke or just soot? Never stand behind a Griff in light-coloured trousers when the owner's been asked to 'just start it up mate'...

Thanks Dean, it does look a good example and in a great colour combo. The guy at Schmoo, Ed, seems a decent fella too, so will go and have a look hopefully between now and the New Year.

Good to hear you thought highly of it.
