Griffith 500 S.E. No.100

[Matzo]

Anyone know who owns the last one & where this fabled creature of myth resides ??

[alans]

I seem to remember mole valley had "the last of the unregistered 100 griffs" for sale, advertised in Feb 03 sprint. Imperial Blue. I'm not sure this is actualy no 100 though.

[Matzo]

I believe it was ninety-something....

I think its up for sale again at the mo actually with only 1500 miles on the clock !

[alans]

I've just bought 54 from Fernnies.

IIRC correctly it was in Imperial Blue (Got photos somewhere - on other 'puter which is still in packing case I think!)

Only trouble is it was vandalised.


in the factory when I saw it on the production line at BH 2002 everybody who had worked on it had graffitti-ed it with their signature and whatever!!!

[johno]

For those with an SE .... do you have signature's on yours behind the boot panel, above the fuel tank. If so, who you got ?

[apprentice]

The first IIRC is owned by the TVRCC Hampshire RO who frequents these pages.

Hi

New here.

I just bought No.84 from TMS.

Is anyone keeping a register of the SE's?

[alans]

good idea mate, any suggestions how?

[Matzo]

Thats a great idea...

I got no. 9... Picked her up from Kerridges last month.

They had 98 there too but it had the OZ wheels & I soo prefer the 500 wheels - Esp 16" all round !

Maybe all hundred cud meet up at some point !?
(I'm sure a few have been written off by now though)

[Reeso]

Kerridges also had No99 (I think)as this or No98 was owned by a friend of mine.
I have No13 in Paris Blue which dons the V8 developement adverts in Sprint(lucky for me so far, also from Kerridges).
No100 has been kept by TVR for their use, be it factory/museum or to be sold at a much later date at a nice premium!!!

I suppose I've got No.000/100 seeing that mine was used to develop all the extra goodies!!

according to sprint, no 100 was sold by Christopher Neil in 2002.

It would be superb to get the last 100 together ..... I reckon I'd win both the highest mileage and most stone chipped categories

Would defintitely have to get it resprayed if it were going on display with its peers ....

[Matzo]

Well I'm all set....

Just had mine serviced & resprayed !

[FlipFlopGriff]

Nsparey - was no 84 at TMS the lime green one? If so, I was the guy leaving in the Flip Flop Pearl Griff.
Bit to "in your face" for me. Are the door mirrors standard on the last 100 - I think they look cheap and spoil it.

Good to know there's so many SE owners on the site. I'm number 70/100, a Rosso Red example.
