After many years admiring TVR's and especially the rawness of the Griffith from afar I have decided to look at buying one, I have just sold my Porsche 964 so part of my garage is empty.
If any one has or knows of a good example for sale I would be most interested.
Must be first class condition, with full service history,
I am flexible on external colour but would prefer a light interior ( not black or green )
would look at all ages preference for a 500.
Based in the West midlands ( Stourbridge )

If your unfamiliar with tvr marque and the griff, l would suggest getting yourself down to a local meet and get an unbiased opinion on TVR's, rather than going to a dealer. PH'eds is a cracking forum, but chatting to owners face to face would be an advantage also, and I don't know the PH'eds meeting places?

Your local tvr car club have their next meet on the 16th March WWM Monthly Meet Bulls Head – Meriden, CV7 7NN. They are coming across to us this Sunday 9th, at the unicorn at langar for some pub Grubb. Good luck with finding the one .

I'm not looking to sell but I live near to you (Henley in Arden) and I have two Griffith 500's. If you wish to pop round for a chat I can talk you through things you need to look out for as a prospective buyer. There's lots of info in this respect on the forum anyway, but it may help you. Only problem is I'm away until later in the month. Drop me a mail if it is of interest.

Good luck with your search - you won't regret it! David.

Thank you to those who responded, I enjoyed hunting around for a good Griffith, went to look at one a couple of days ago, unfortunately it had sold, but had a look around whilst there and found a really nice TR 6 a complete change of plans but it had to be, I will buy a Griff at some point.

Thanks
Steve

Surely you didn't drive both ???? I had many tr6 in the 80s covered many miles and restored 3. But no way would I have one now as a Griff 500 offers so much for ( at the moment ) not a lot of £ when compared to slower and more expensive cars
