just spotted this Griff for sale and noticed the rear number plate shape, I was wondering if it was a Japanese/Australian import. I can't think of another country with that shape number plate and RHD

Just a thought

And on the Griff in question would anyone buy a car even the garage cannot get the model name right on, ignoring the other spelling mistakes.Shows a certain lack of care IMHO.

The car was bought at auction and shipped over. I was at dealer few months back and it had just arrived. Needed engine work from memory, along with interior tidy.
Looking at the price they are selling it for I would say there is a lot of profit in that car smile

If it's Japanese then that would help explaining why it's a Griffish

i Own a body shop & used to tidy up all types of cars that where shipped in,,, From mitsubshi GTOs, FTOs, Shoguns (PAJEROs) and other cars that are not made for the english market.
Speed limits over there are 55/ 60 mph, Tyres, oil cooler.Gear box oil coolers. windscreens and all other parts on the car are'nt made for the speeds over here, The cars were blowing up engines every where..
SVA made it very hard in the death to stop bringing theses cars in,, There will be no history in any car. The dealer will agrue against this, but who can read chinky..
