I had a beautiful picture of a Griffith as my computer background when it crashed (the computer not the car). The car was burgandy, 3/4 front view, covered with rain drops and in a cobblestone alley with an old brick building (factory?) as a back drop. Does this ring any bells out there?

HiWedge,
Sound's like a pic that was part of the card's detailing The Griff 500, in fact i recon its card issue 7 number 13 but this car look's like BRG to me but set in cobbled street with a factory back ground perhaps near Bristol Av.

Hope that's of ony use.

Hi Pasco,
Sorry, your right it was BRG ! I am not familiar with "card's detail". Is there a web site or page where I can find it?
Thanks, allan

Thanks Paul,
I found it somewhere about 3 years ago and had it for my background on the computer until it crashed and have not been able to find it again. If I had that picture (or one of Pamala Anderson) when I was a boy, I wouldn't have gotten any homework done.

Can't help with the one you are looking for although I think a photo like the on you described is on the original Griffith sales brochure.

In the meantime you are welcome to use these if they are any good?





Cheers

Wedge,

I don't know if you saw this. I'm pretty sure it's the pic you wanted judging by your description. If I knew how to post a picture in this reply I'd do it.

Can someone please tell me how to put a picture in this pane.

Regards
Phil T

By the way, this pic is also in Roger Shakleton's book "The TVR Griffith Story" on page 290 with the caption "Last Griffith 500 (pre-the '500 SE') brochure's car".

This book is a good read for any Griffith devotee. Quite different from reading Steve Heath's "The TVR Griffith and Chimaera" - as in, you can read it as a book, it isn't a sort-of workshop manual.

Phil.
