looks lovely, what engine model?
I've owned a Griffith 4.3 BV in LHD around 1999 and was fantastic, specially would be these days with all that traffic and camera's.
Its lovely and driver involved feel, even al low speeds when it rumbles etc, you don't need to go fast in it, but a mm movement of the gas pedal, it goes of...
what I did not like back then is the power torque range which is great, but very short, but that you could change.
also disliked the seats... go fast left right and you as goes more those ways then you would like
so better seats would be an option.
but other then that, what a real car and great but friendly presence those have.

This. When I first saw the Griffith in Performance Car magazine there was a comment by John Barker that just resonated with me.. It was being tested against a 968 Cabriolet and a Maserati Spyder. GTRene also said:

This car always seems to get a good reaction from people - just today a bloke shouted 'Lovely car mate - and MY name's Trevor!'

great shout 
and yes, people often stick their thumbup or waved,
when I had a Porsche 964 with a 3.8 RS engine and drove the same way, some people They waved differently, up and down, like, take it easy, please...
But in that Griffith, even when I went faster and with that sound, I got thumbs up and such, partly because (I guess) it seemed less racing and more classic in their eyes.
