Hi all! Ive recently sold my 1996 4.2 cerbera and purchased a 99 griffith 500!
I love it, it has a lot more low down grunt and i find myself bein extra carefull until i get used to it!
Im a little aware of having no roof, and if it flips over its good night vienna! plus im gona have to have a front brake upgrade, because the little calipers behind my 18" wheels look pathetic
but all in all its fantastic

Welcome to the fold, its great to have new member especially when they are auto electricians as Griffs have been known to have the odd leccy gremlin!!!!!

Fans, lights, fuseboxes, relays, starter motors, alternators, and on and on and on on n on

Welcome!

I had a ride in a friend's Cerb 4.2. It was rather unamazing under about 5.5k rpm, then it went mad. Very different character to the RV8.

Nice one Leebus - I got my first Griff in 1997 and still can't find anything that beats the experience Cerberas are nice-looking but who wants to be sealed inside a postbox?

Smart decision Lee...BTW, really love those wheels! Do you know the make & where they were sourced? 4-stud or 5-stud? Tyre sizes?

Cheers, tj

The wheels are 18" 4 stud, believe it or not they are a cheap wheel made by a company called dare! The tyres are nankang, they will have to come off!
