Having previously had a 350i, 400SE, 420SEAC and Chim400 - I have just bought a Griff 500. Picked her up from Blackpool yesterday and had lovely 250mile drive home biggrin
Loving the torque.

I bought via an Autotrader ad. Never actually went to the owners house as had a pre-purchase inspection done at BHP (ex-TVR factory mechanic) in Blackpool, who also did some work on it for me before I picked it up. It could have been the one, but I don't know.

Use a old pan scrub (foam with green face type) and washing up liquid on the seats and other bits. I know it sounds harsh but works a treat.. then re-feed the leather on the seats afterwards wink

What feed do you use? The magnolia interior of my Griff is pretty grubby.

I used the JML Magic Eraser to clean up my interior after reading this thread. Believe it or not it actually works very well!

Great tip. Worked a treat on the vinyl.
