Just dropped my car off at Dulford and there were 8 griffs there including mine.

There is a stunning blue griff there with a 5.4 engine and side slats/mesh cut into the front arches along with some vents/mesh next to the rear lights..oh, and a vented bonnet also.

does anyone have any pics or know the owner..? reg number is a well known engine size with TVR at end smile

be nice to know more about it as it says on the number plate it has 500 BHP and 500 LB torque.

great looking car..looks great inside also with the extra gauges fitted..

much respect bow

Do you have a picture of that rear end straight on, or in fact of the whole car? biggrin

Can you expand on that wargriff. Inside, being what - the inside rim or inside the spokes or what?

If you are sad like me and keep all your back issues of Sprint, hook out Feb 2005 there's a nice write up on the car and a pic of David.

That's been at Dulfords for ages then. Unless it's a return visit, it was there a couple of months ago the last time I was there. It does look good but looking very sorry for itself when I saw it.

the outer rim and outer edges of the spoked section are still shiny metal, but the inner section has been painted blue. I think the wheels are thr ford RS ones.. It also has tamora seats.

That looks nice.

The nicest 'tampered' body alteration I think I've seen on a Griff.

...and needing a complete drivetrain rebuild would have nothing to do with NOS/546bhp, would it?
