Afternoon Griffers.

A polite request: Has anyone got, or know where to get, a photo or a drawing of a Griff, viewed from directly above, i.e. the plan view? A photo from a bridge, studio art, promo material, that sort of thing. My Griff`s long gone so I can`t photograph one myself unfortunately.

I`m interested in the profiles of the rump, the taper of the nose in relation to the bonnet & light cut-outs, interior perimetre shape etc. Ransacking TGPs has added some useful shots to my own album, but I can`t find a true bird`s eye view.

Anything greatly received, open or closed, quality not important, please PM me.

Cheers!

I have an A3 size TVR promo poster of an early Griff showing exactly that studio shot, car is black with a magnolia interior (like my car!) but on a black background so contrast is not great, will try and get a shot of it if I can find my tripod and mail you at the weekend.

Try contacting Ed Tilsey. I am sure he had an above shot of his first Griffith.

Not exactly what I was after, but it`s such a good shot I`ve already pinched it from The Griff Pages! Could come in handy though, cheers UF!

You`re right, I do need a copy! Ta DWG, didn`t know about that one!

Again, not the exact view-from-directly-above angle I was looking for but yes, the colour and light direction does show the curvature nicely, definitely useful. Cheers FMC!



Thank you chaps, but especially Griffer for making and sending a copy of the exact view I need - Cheers! beer

Isn`t PH a marvellous place? clap
