Perfect SE in my honest opinion
Discussion
Looks lovely, detailing is superb and it does seem too £ cheap.
Cerb ? seats by the look of it, which the last ones had as std ? My first Griff had them and i didnt find them good at all.
Not my interior color choice i must admit, particularly the green dash and carpets, but the rest of the car looks near perfect and not difficult to change.
A Fantastic buy for someone, ( who may have got the £ asking price reduced ) but i wont be suprised if it re appears with a Huge mark up........

Seems a real bargain but a couple of oddities, nearest guage appears to be a different colour and shouldn't it be on Estorils rather than Imolas? To good to use as well, one to mothball.
...just trying to make myself feel better about buying a week before this came up....and it was on my doorstep.

Should never happen...May of been cheap because it was front wheel-drive?

I notice from the pics that it's been picked up at the outside corners of the outriggers on a 2-post lift. On my previous TVR (wedge in case you hadn't guessed from the name) this would be an absolute no-no due to the limited triangulation of the outriggers back to the backbone. Is this method of lifting OK for Griffs/Chims though?

How on earth is that so cheap??? Based on the other SEs that should be up for at least 30k if not 35k being a low milage, one owner, concourse example.
I've never really understood why there is a premium paid for the SE model. To me the Chimaera heater controls and brass eyeball vents add nothing over the originals and the pepper-pot rear lights don't work with the Griffith rear end design - the original rebated light cluster was a design feature that neatly picked up on the leading edge of the doors. Other than the fact that they are newer I see no real advantage. RichB said:
