Did anybody see the red Griff on Lovejoy - ITV3 tonight - dated 1994.

Reg No L118 BFV

Certainly more than a bit-player.

L118 and L110 were brother and sister.

L118 was Dorothy Curetons car and L110 was John Ravenscrofts.

They were company/press/pool cars.

It was in L110 with JR on the way through Silverstone Village at 5am that the police were alerted to our presence, not cos we were speeding but because of the engine noise.

Both were great cars to drive and they were used for development as well.

L118 is raspberry pearl so not likely, but there weas a cureton green Griff used in publicity pictures for the 500 (in an alleyway between back yards of back-to-back houses - likely to be oop north somewhere).

S6 is still showing as being on the black tuscan but I am sure the tuscan was in the process of being sold, so unless

a) the deal fell through
b) car was sold with the plate

then...ummm what was the point I was trying to make..?
