Are there any accurate numbers on the 90's Griffith production?
Can someone provide a breakdown of the various Griffith models made, the years they were made and the numbers built?
Which are the particularly sought after models and why (briefly)?
I would like to see if I have a cat-in-hells-chance of being able to legally import one to the USA under a special import catergory. Part of the requirement requires proof of production numbers, rarity and what makes the make/model unique in some technical way.

Thanks

As follow up to my request, how many official left hand drive Griffiths were made and which models?

A LHD car may prove the ticket.

Thanks in advance

The nearest thing to 'official figures' is those held by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

I have copies of the SMMT spreadsheets listing TVR production. SMMT records are compiled from figures originally supplied to SMMT by TVR.

These have been posted recently on here, do a search for a quick look, or PM me for a copy.

These records are clearly wrong and actual production will probably never be known.

However, these figures can't be disproved either. Coming from the most official source available, they would probably serve your purposes.

They were released to me on a non-commercial basis. I suspect you might need to buy a certified copy from SMMT for official use.

AFAIK, there is no breakdown of numbers showing how many LHD cars were produced.

They're certainly rare and usually command a high price premium over a similar RHD example.
