She's Mine!

[Digger]

I'll update with initial thoughts later but here are some random pics to start off with. First comment is how small Griffs are (last pic). . . . getting used to the fact I can wallow about in Parking Bays!

Not much else to say except that I am already enjoying her as much as expected. . .

Very nice! You'll have to get to Chatsworth next Sunday in it.

Wow, Digger - she looks MINT! Love the colour combination, and I want some OZ Splits for mine. Very, very nice!

That, is a properly specced interior. Dash matches door surrounds!
VERY nice.

[Digger]

Thanks for the kind words peeps. She does appear to be a lovely example of the breed, but I guess nothing less should be expected from Fernhurst's!

Chatsworth may be a possibility I shall look in to it.


. . . & the first problem presents itself TADAAA!

Brake lights appeared to be working properly initially, but it appears that now they will only come on with more of a firm prod of the pedal, only tested when stationary and parked in front of a wall. According to a friendly cabbie they weren't working when we were in stop-start traffic. Normal pressure will not activate the lights.

I assume it may be a wiring issue? Any tips or pointers gratefully received!

That is a knockout to look at!
The brake switch is above the pedal, just tweak it closer in so it contacts sooner, you'll hear its click as you move the pedal down by hand.

Thanks cossers. That pic was taken during the handover whilst still at Fernhurst's.

Fantastic looking car. If you look at the brake pedal you'll see the brake light switch resting against the pedal. It just needs tweaking (read bending) slightly so that it comes on with the first movement of the pedal.

Looks brilliant!

WOW that is one on the nicest Griffs I have seen, looks absolutely stunning. The whole car looks mint! Love the split rims and and the interior is spot on. Only thing I would change would be I would go for TVR centre caps on the wheels.

Congratulations on your purchase and I shall look out for it at Chatsworth.

That is a stunner! The detailing looks superb. What mileage is it?

On the To Do List.

Many thanks for the ideas regarding the Stereo and Steering Wheel choices.

Just under 33k. Pretty low methinks!

Nice looking car. Brake lights, warranty is your answer.

Very nice, love the colour and interior. Just out of interest what colour is it.

Part of the fun will be in resolving these little niggles. Hopefully, as suggested, a tweak of the switch will resolve. I'll have a play during the week!

Thank You . Colour is Nightfire Red which I believe is a Rover colour.

That's a stunner you have there

I think the Nardi steering wheel looks great on yours, the wood goes really will red leather dash. Looks better than mine!



Just looked at those pictures again and that really is an absolutely stunning Griff.
