Its a good day for me today. After buying my first Tvr (it had to be a Griff) back in August I'm pleased to say that after being off the road for over two years it flew through its MOT this morning. Feels really good to have rescued it from a life of being locked away and unused.
Now if the MOT man had written the right reg number down I might of been able to tax it too! Back at the centre getting the certificate changed now.

No brides needed. Front lights a bit crap but everyone knows that anyway.

Very nice original car.

Saw it in the flesh today as Russ called around after the MOT, a credit to his recent tinkering.

Funny thing was, he parked it next to my wheelbarrow in the driveway and the similarity was astounding smile!

Are the Gotti's that rare now?

I don't think they're particulary rare, but with only a few hundred pre-cats split between Gotti and Oz they do stand out a bit. Plus I'm a 5-spoke fan anyway!

Looks lovely! I am sure I recognise your Griff I think it used to belong to a chap that lived in Shefford. I remember it sounded lovely and went very well too! Have fun smile

Yes that's right it belonged to someone on here called Robert who had it before the person I got it from.

Hi I thought I recognised it, it was Griffmans old car.
