Come on Guys, surley there are Griffs in Perth, Please yes


AFAIK there are only 3 or 4 active PHers in Perth, so the chances of a TVR owner responding are slim
As Rich has said, there are some TVRs in Perth, but I have lived here for 36 years and can't remember ever seeing one, despite being involved in car clubs & motorsport most of my life.


There were a few cars active in the classic arena's a few years ago and when one guy had a Cerbera I gather it was entered in several fairly high profile events.

Both myself and a Chimaera owner entered the sprint series out at the AHG complex at the airport and did a good job of holding up the field and laying circles of rubber to help others with grip !

We also have a "stand" at most display events such as British car day at Gingin, Perry Lakes Classics and the recent Waroona classics. Admittedly not many cars attend and we aren't allowed to the Whiteman Park event as we aren't an incorporated club.

We are looking to do more socially and especially in conjunction with other clubs so if you are a member of one and want to see a few TVR's how about an invite


yikes I ran the RX7 in last years AHG sprint series! We were running the morning sessions, mind you, in between running the car and catching up with people I haven't seen since I raced at Wanneroo years ago, I didn't see a lot of the other cars there.


Would that be a Maroon coloured one that seems to be outrageously quick?...I saw one there last year that flew off the line and the revs seemed to pick up so quickly that it spent a lot of time on the rev limiter while the driver tried to keep up!!

No, a blue FC (series5) Infini, not quick enough, lack of traction mainly.

Car is for sale as my mate has now bought a Series8 FD, will prolly share the car at AHG this year.

Seems there are a few more PHers in Perth than I realised thumbup . Have to arrange a PH meet sometime... beer
