Don't know the car but green ones are best...

Possibly the longest ad for a Griff in the history of PH Classifieds?

[lockhart flawse]

Another green owner here. You won't find much better I wouldn't think.

I just read that ad this morning and thought to myself if I was in the market for a Griff I would definitely go and look at it. (Fortunately I already have one in the fastest colour, titanium silver. ).

Sometimes too much info in a advert is too much ....I gave up reading that after a few paragraphs
Get the impression its been looked after though

Wonder how he got the exhausts so shiny?

A 2246 word essay on a Griff... I hope he's not that chatty in person, or you'd never get away from a viewing!

Looks like a good buy should handle superbly with the Ohlins suspension

I bet you'd have read to the end if you were looking to buy though!

Interesting that he's so well read up and festidious, yet doesn't have a cover on the Anderson plug...

[FinnMcMissile]

And the chassis?

[TvrIanD]

Thanks for all the advice. Have viewed it and all checks out. MOT'ed a couple of days ago, so would think chassis in good condition. Toying with the idea of getting a Rob Ingleby inspection - do you think worthwhile?

[dodgepot]

Try giving Fernhurst a ring, they have serviced it and I assume supplied it to the current owner. They certainly had it a couple of years ago.
cheers

[Podie]

An MOT does not mean the chassis is in a good condition - it means that the tester did not find any holes. That's not to say it is in bad condition.

Personally, I would get a specialist garage to look at it.

I have already spoken to them. Was sold as an ex-demo and serviced by them. Couldn't tell me much other than serviced regularly.
