The Griffith 500 SE Website www.griffith500se.co.uk is now live.

The aim of the website is to document the identities of each of the 100 Special Edition Griffith 500 cars produced.

I will post on this topic whenever there have been any additions to the website.

Please let me know if:
- you have any extra details or photos of your 500SE
- you have details of any other of the SE's

Number 95 - New photos and details.

I have just been contacted by Jean-Louis Frederick from Belgium, who I met at the Growl last year.

He has sent me some photos of his car, and told me that it has only done 180 km (112 miles) from new. It has just done a return journey from Zolder this year.

I agree - I can't see it on my website. I've emailed HHC to see if they can tell me the number of the Special Edition.

No, sorry - wonder if it got caught by my spam filter. Can you resend it please, and I will keep an eye out for it. You must have thought I was ignoring you!

No, not offended. We have problems with our server - it refuses to send large attachments sometimes. Have sent it again

Looking Good

Have you found out which one was the light blue car in the TVR pre-publicity pictures?
Have you got LA's old car, I think I saw it at Henley's before he got it?

What has happenend to the twenties? Is there a mystery to uncover?

Both myself and Mark Deacon have been wondering what happened to the twenty series of cars. We wondered if they all went abroad - France or Belgium. Bit of a mystery.
