thank you for that, you were right.
looks a nice car but a little on the heavy side mileage wise for me.
Have a look at the condition of the vehicle, not the mileage. If it’s the 62,000 miles in 22 years, that’s not a lot really? My Griff mileage shows less than 4000/year & it runs really well- everything works because it is regularly maintained & driven (I avoid the salt because that’s just cruel) year round. Look at the age of the suspension components, fuel lines, brake lines & tyres. One that’s been driven stands a good chance of having all these done.looks a nice car but a little on the heavy side mileage wise for me.

Had club meet last week and a newbie attended with a list of Q's. He'd bought the car, probably attracted by the mileage of ~ 40K on a '98 vehicle.....Tyres date stamped as 1998!!, needed outriggers fairly soon, dampers probably original and suspension spring-bound, dash needed re-veneer. If the miles show car has had some use, to me it indicates that components have been rotated and oiled??
They are cars first & foremost and we buy them to drive do we not?

Thank you for your response. I will come back to you, ideally looking for serp.
No problem. Is there something about the pre serp you do not like? For your budget you probably need to be flexible if I'm honest. Not many lower mileage, good condition serps will be selling around the 19,20k mark esp. now spring is around the corner.
Like others have said, condition is paramount so don't discount the higher mileage cars either.
Best of luck with your search though.

seen this one, again looks nice hate the rear lights though, preffer the original look.
I agree with you. The pepper-pot lights were best suited to the Tuscan and were an attempt by TVR to update the Griffith. It's a common trick used by manufacturers to facelift run-out cars but personally I don't think it's an improvement.
