TVR spotted in Bradenton, Florida

[whittaker52]

Spotted this on the Cortez Road while i was on holiday. The car was a light blue Griffith and the only reason i really noticed it was the classic tvr rumble! Beautiful! it also looked to have an american tag.Its the first TVR ive spotted in america, a very rare site so i believe.

Are you a user of this forum?

Thanks,
Oliver

Old Grif or new Grif?

[mikal83]

I live about 2 hours north of there and my TVR hasnt been that far south yet......

If you go to eBay you can see the photo of the Griff.
While the advertisement lists it as a 1972, quite obviously it is not of that vintage.
