Just bought my first Griff

[jimbro1000]

After much anguish, pawing through adverts and generally day dreaming I finally got what I wanted. A very nice, straight Griff 500.

Now I just have to wait a week til it can be delivered...

[beano500]

That'll count as one of teh best decisions to make on this mortal coil!!!

More details?


(and what's a "straight" Griff when it's at home - they don't normally come in pink, y'know!!!)

Welcome to the best club in the world
you'll soon wonder why you waited so long
Happy motoring

Well done mate , its gonna be a long week but well worth it.
Wher did you purchase it from??

Welcome to the Griffith Forum

Since you asked....it is a 1996 registered example with about 38k on the clock. Bodywork is in almost unblemished Rosso Pearl, interior is black half leather. Everything about the car appears to be completely original and well looked after (I've seen the bills so I can vouch for that).

I've driven a few examples now with this being the first one I tried. It doesn't have the bells and whistles that some of the came with but it is easily the best one to drive.

As soon as I have a worthy picture to share it will be going up on my profile.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pink!!!
c'ept for the fact that I'd never be able to sell the thing if I did respray it!

Well done.

The longest week ever awaits.

Will you be picking it up on valentines day?

Great decision, well done mate!

I'd buy a pink one.

From Fernies by any chance?

(I seem to know far too much about what Griffs are on the market! I just wish MY one was out there!)

It is you just haven't found it yet

[DustyC]

Too true.

Think I saw that one at Fernhursts too, when I picked up my silver/ocean green one a week last Friday. Looked like a nice car. Hope your first week with it is a much fun as mine was ! Hood down all weekend just gone !!

[tiny]

Well done - enjoy!!

[simpo two]

Delivered? Good grief man, go and drag it back by the hair!

Woof!

[razzle99]

Tiny, have to say (a little off subject) - your Griff looks stunning in your pics, must be awesome in the flesh !

And it arrived today - what an evil week of waiting.

Just been for a little cruise to calm myself down (which didn't work of course) Now just wondering where to go tomorrow
