The lucky new owner of my Pre-cat Griff will be collecting his toy this weekend and driving it back to France...

I'm gutted to see it leaving our shores (but not to the point of preventing a sale)!

Looking forward to to visiting the classifeds (4 seaters) with some money in my pocket.

Well done Graham,

Whereabouts in France I might see it next year planning a drive down to Croatia at the end of July.

Regards

Nick

P.S. don't worry in 40 years or so when the kids leave home, you will be able to buy another one. wink

Don't hold your breath! I've been living here in France for 6 years and, in all that time, I've seen 4 TVRs, of which just one was a Griff.

Was a bit tongue in cheek smile from what I understand about speeding enforcement in France it would take a brave person to own a TVR there yes?

I think it depends where in France you are. The penalties for excessive speeding are horrendous, but I rarely see les flics with mobile speed guns around where I live and I know where the fixed ones are (still trying to work out which ones work though). At least here there's space on the roads to floor it now and again, and some great roads!
