Thanks for the kind words, it was a fun day doing the pics, I would advise anyone against a Viper, but the Cobra was gorgeous, I've been considering a replica for some time and as the Griff is still for sale, and now on ebay, who knows what may be next? Either a straight six or V12!!??

Cheers, Al.

Out of interest, how did they approach you for the feature? Was it through TVRCC?

I got a call form C&SC in October, but was driving at the time (had them on hands free in the company car) and the chap said he'd call back in the morning - never did though. Anyhow, the point was that I have no idea where they got my number from, but the TVRCC office is probably the only place that would have it for a car related matter.

Through seeing the advert that was on here at the time, the deputy editor just liked the fact that the Griff had an unusual history to add to the article. I believe Haymarket, who publish C&SC, also own PH, just coincidence??
