Body colour under the bonnet
Discussion
Was there a specific time when TVR started putting body colour under the bonnet on the Griffith 500 at the edges?
I've noticed a few early Griffs coming up at auction, all of which have the matt black extending from the inner wings all the way up to the bonnet edge, as expected.
My 1999 Griffith 500 has body colour around the brake fluid reservoir, and similarly on the other side to the insulation. I've seen it on 1996 cars too, but on 1995 cars that are for sale with under bonnet photos, it seems that no body colour was used in this area. Considering the Griffith 500 had virtually no changes at all from its switch to a Serp engine in 1994 until the final SE cars having different dash and lights, have I spotted a change? Hardly worthy calling any Mk 2s or anything I grant you.
