It Looks good to me

92 4.0ltr with 68 on the clock isnt bad at all. At least you know it hasnt been sitting about. MOT till next year which is good.Wheels look in good in the pics, It has full srvice history and has been un-molestered. and the seller is TVRCC member which ads confidence that it probably.. been looked after well too. So to me with out seeing it in the flesh all looks pretty rosie. would like to see/know what the chassis is like. It still has the original nose cone buy teh looks of it too.
The Reserve I guess is around the £11k.

Agree with the others its looks a nice one but the only way to find out is to go and look at it.If you arn't that familiar with TVR's Rob Ingleby will check it out for you for a reasonable price.As far as the milage goes it differs from car to car I would rather have a high milage car that had been well looked after and serviced than a low milage one that haden't.

I reckon you're right with the reserve, certainly no more than 11,950 .

I was going to ask whether you were aware of the Pistonheads classifieds, there's a wide variety of Griff's on there....

Looks clean and honest to me - anyone who uses his car as an eBay name must be keen on it.

However I'd never buy a car unseen - suggest you get over there, check it out and make him an offer in the usual way.

If I'm not mistaken, this car is in the newly released 'Griffith Story', the book.

If its the same owner, I think you'll find the car in extremely good hands.

I would not worry about the mileage. (better used)
My 94 Griff has done 81k and has just (this morning) passed his MOT no probs.

Check out the condition (as you would with any car) but looks well worth a look.
