No photos, but went along yesterday. It was a little quiet, but this is no reflection on the organisers. There were about 30 odd Griffs there at any one time. I would have thought today would have been busier, but unfortunately due to continuing engine problems, I have not been able to make it.

Well I'd say well attended, hot, good hotel, loads of very nice cars, actually magaged to get to chat to a few new people, and swatted six wasps.

Big thanks to Mr. & Mrs. FFG.

When I counted just before going round the museum, there were 53 Griff's in the car park. Sorry I didn't get round to listing all the other models, but I think all types were represented.

More later..........

Like to add my thanks to Mr & Mrs FFG and others who organised the day. Convoyed up to the event with three Griffs and then impressed with many many shiny wonderful examples

Good to see Geoff Statham there in his BBW Polo shirt but sadly lacking other Wedge support.

I should win the raffle to prove it's not fixed

Great day

How did you get on? I think yours was the pre-cat with the stainless induction pipes and lagged exhaust?

Hi James.

Any chance of sending me a copy of the picture as it appears to have a few lovely young ladies in the background and a Stunning looking Griff in the foreground

He does get "swamped" with enquiries so might not reply promptly, i would recommend phoning him between 9-11 am 01694 720144

I thought so too - then realised the red was a tad on the dark side
