Hi all,

I've just bought a 1999 Griffith 500. I've had a Chimaera before, owned it for about 4 years but reluctantly had to sell it last year as I was working away and it wasn't getting used. I'm so glad to be back in the TVR fold again. The drive back to Farnborough from Stirling in the Griff was awesome.

Anyway, I guess I'll be in here quite often and I'm looking forward to meeting up with other Griff owners at some meets.

Colin

Excellent looking car, Colin, congrats! Are your rims 18s? Certainly at the rear they look like they are.

They're specially made, one-off.....either that or I honestly don't know. Sorry.

Yes, the car is a credit to it's former owner. The seller (also Colin) was a pleasure to deal with throughout and has looked after the car impecably.
