Right, after a year of procrastination, I have put the Griff on the market and am upgrading to a Cerb (need a back seat!) I am currently looking at a 97 4.2 which is the kind of spec I want, but am yet to go into details on the mechanical side of things. It has had the later style clutch fitted, but could you guys point me in the right direction for other boxes I should be ticking with regard to updates, fixes and general issues. I know there is loads of stuff on here about this, but the search facility seems to be out of action at the momenet, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You should be looking for a very nice blue 96 4.2 that will be available after Le Mans

Other than that, see a few, check the service records, talk to the owner and the mechanic that does the servicing and get it inspected by either a specialist or a tvr dealer.

Good luck, they are fantastic fun.
