Hi all
Just a quick hi from a new guy, new to the forum but new to owing a TVR.
I am currently in the market for a low mileage griff so any help would be great and many thanks in advance.

Welcome.
Don't get too hung up on mileage though; condition and good maintenance are more important, especially as they are mostly get on a bit now.

DITTO.... Condition is king

Welcome aboard

I agree with LordGrover and 3024E, and we are all very experienced Griff owners

But thats not the purpose of this post.

What I want to say is if you find something over here you are interested in, then give us a yell on the forum. There are some real Griffith enthusiasts here and you'd be surprised how many cars we know - or know of - and how much help you will find people are prepared to offer.

But then again, what do I know about griffs?

More than most of us put together Ant, which kind of proves the point eh.

Welcome to the PH forums

As others have said, I wouldn't get to hung up on mileage condition is far more important to look at the overall condition of the car taking particular attention on the chassis. Rob Ingleby offers a inspection and sourcing service which is recommended http://www.findasportscar.co.uk/

Steve Heath's TVR Griffith and Chimaera book is also a worth a purchase http://www.tvrbooks.co.uk/

I don't but the 430 looks better value IMO. Thats a well know car and well looked after.
I love the juniper green 400 - One of the best Griff colours.

Dunno the car, know Tony Gilbert tho`. If you want me to look at it and give unbiased opinion before you come over let me know, not that far away from me.
