Griff spotted - Norton, Sheffield.

[kojak69]

R***EAN. Looked and sounded great. I was in a Ford (euroshed) focus. Wished I was in my TVR....never see any others when I am.

[mondieu]

There is also a tuscan that I think lives somewhere near the water tower.

[squirrelz]

Was it a starmist red one? I've seen that nearby - going into halfords on Queens Road if IIRC.

I'm also an R**EAN, but on a Chim.

I knew I knew the number from somewhere - would have ended up awake all night if you hadn't said!

He couldn't have missed yours - stunning colour - I still love it. Wish the Griff I looked at in the same colour had been a bit nicer.

[joospeed]

the R ***EAN ending seems quite popular on TVRs the dealer must've sold loads and got them all registered at once?

The tuscan I saw was the same colour as squirellz car. I think it went down the road that turns off after the golf club (Norton Lees?)

Did you go past John Smiths Brewery, Tadcaster yesterday (Wednesday) around 10am, a blue chim with a reg no along the lines of what you stated above went past at that time. It was on London Road heading towards the A64.

Best Regards

MOD.

Nope, unless it snook out for a spin on it's own.

[MOD500]

Mmmmmmmm, must be another blue chim with a similar reg no

The cherry pearl Griff at Halfords will probably be mine (yes Aggers the comedy Griff lives again!!)
I was in there a couple of times over last few weeks looking for wheels for a friend. Mine has got 17' wheels very similar to OZ Superturismos and a carbon fibre bonnet (colour coded) with vents. It also sounded rough cos the manifold gaskets were leaking (now sealed & sounds lurvely)ex-missus lives on Abbeydale rd so you may have seen it there until recently.

[kojak69]

Have you still got the cerbera Shaun?

[clarky5150]

Yep its in the garage all polished up waiting for the nice weather. Ive sold the 3000M 90% restored to a guy at work freeing up room for my new toy.. Yamaha R6. Oh how one hates the life of a single man!!

[Baldy67]

If it's the Starmist Crimson Griffith 500 Reg.R83 EAN that you're looking for you found it and it lives on, wait for it............Lowedges, and you're welcome to call and have a gander anytime.
