Thought I would pop my head around the door and say hello to my new stable mates. Im coming from the darkside of owning a TVR Chimaera 500 biggrin and I will be taking delivery of my new beast tomorrow morning:

http://www.ridedrive.co.uk/articles-griffith-jeffs...

Some of you may know the car well as it belonged to Oblio aka Jeffsy on here. Well, if you didnt know he sold it in 2009 (i think) to a chap in France and now its back in Blighty with me as the new owner. As you can see Jeffsy had put his life and soul into the Griff when he had it and unfortunately whilst it was on the wrong side of the channel it was a tad neglected.

However, Its been back at its 2nd home at Neil Garner's for some much needed love and attention and its finally ready and I cant wait to get my hands on it!!

I'll be at the Griff Growl showing it off (place already booked!)

Wow! God it looks good in that photo Bob! Thanks for digging that one out. Looks like it was taken just after Graham had done all the work! The challenge is on to get it looking as good as it did then.

Blimey was it really 2008 when Jeffsy sorted out that old nail.

I remember this car (and Jeffsy) very well and it was such a shame the car went out of the country.
I understand it has been neglected somewhat so it will be great to see it restored to its former glory and back on English roads.

Welcome to the dark side BigGriff540 and enjoy your Griff
