Only 4 days to go and i collect my Griff , cant wait, the last 2 weeks since I did the deal and traded my much loved S1.5 in have been like a lifetime. Plus the odd doubt as to whether I have done the right thing. Its a J reg pre cat with 50k and full TVR service history. Hope over to the Growl on the sunday to see some other Griffs and owners.

You won't regret it. I've had mine a year now, and the grin hasn't faded one bit

Had mine 3 months and had the same misgivings while I was waiting to pick it up. Changed from a V8S which was no trouble.

I can confirm that you are doing the right thing. Only had one small issue so far, a loose wire to the fuel pump, easily resolved.

Once you drive it you will forgive it anything. Enjoy.

Put a grand a year away for upkeep. Enjoy every minute.

Get yourself a reliable mechanic EDIT just seen your location - Automedon in Blackpool or Ian (Torque RVT or aka Middlewich MOT Centre 01606 831 244, in Middlewich) are the two indies I am aware of. Ian's mine and, as I told him the other day, he's a genius in need of a manager . FanTASTic with Griffs. See threads with refs on the 'search' button.

If it aint got a CD/MP3 system in - dont bother; save the cash for a worthwhile item. Every now & again I remember I have Machine Head in. But, quite honestly, even sublimely appropriate tracks like Highway Star, Pictures of Home or Lazy are redundant when conducting a mobile orchestra of your own; when piloting a road going version of the Battle of Britain; when in tune with Skylark's adrenalinised great nephew.
