20 years old on the 1st of this month. How time flies!

I've owned many TVR's and on my third Griff 500 .. I always seem to end up going back to the Griff.
I know just what you mean. I'm a relatively newcomer to the marque having had a Chimaera MK3 and now a Tuscan, but I can't stop myself looking at Griffs for sale on her and A/T.

I think it is only a matter of time...

21 yrs old in a few months...where does the time go.
It's amazing isn't it (see my post about my Griff) so this is one year older and to me looks better than the current Ferraris.
It is amazing how these older cars tend to look so much better that their young counterparts. But I suppose the youngsters love 'em and will aspire to today's new cars in years to come.
I guess the nostalgia builds as we get older - modern cars are brilliant, no doubt. I just feel more of a connection to older cars these days....it's almost romantic wink

I've loved seeing every car in this thread.

The over/under exhaust is the original Zed layout confused

And I know you could say that these belong in Biker Banter, but I'm not certain there are that many on there that are interested in oily old tat. The twins out for an airing recently...

They're rather lovely. Do you need both hands to pull in the Laverda's clutch like on a Jota? hehe

I couldn’t resist taxing it and taking it out for a go in the glorious weather a couple of weeks ago.

Funny you should say that... the SF has a conversion to make the clutch lighter and feels almost like a modern; on the other hand, the Bonneville requires a bit of effort.

It’s only there while I find something more sturdy. Don’t really like having an aftermarket alarm in the bay but needs must in this day age of thieving scumbags

I have a real soft spot for a 7 convertible, don’t know why. Probably my age and my dad had one new.

Lovely and it looks as though there may be something tasty under the car cover too?
