4.0 ,4.3, 4.5 and 5.0 and some others out there with bigger engines

15k will get you a very nice 500

15k would get you a nice mid production run (1998) 500.

EXCELLENT thank you .... i was contemplaiting a t350 but the other half was'nt too sure (under the thumb, oh the shame) but to my joy walking down from the cathedral in Durham city a red griffith came our way, sun beaming down like a sign from God, top down (the car that is) it caught her eye 'ooow i like that'....... she says, i was shocked to say the least....once i explained why it sounded so, she gave the nod of approval and graced my ears with what only a few have ever heard 'you can have one of them' *purse strings are in the relaxed position* ....

I'm not sure on who to recommend for inspections in your area but make sure they check the ABS,Auto box,4WD to mention few things on the T350 inspection ad


Hope you find a good Griff 500 The OH has great taste

I'd suggest you trust HHC rather than use someone who posts generic ads...

[clarkmagpie]

speak to richard at hexham, very helpful chap, have a nosey in the showroom and ask him to keep an eye out for one.

think there is a W reg blue one in at the moment for 18k but i think thats the only one.

wise choice with the Griff, they are simply great

You could talk to James Agger, I'm sure he'll be able to sort something for you.

That could well have been me i was down that way on sunday morning .

I like the look of this one http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/971902.htm
HHC have a nice blue Griff in the showroom a bit over your budget but i have always found them very helpful . Mines a very early pre- serp 500 but your budget should get a nice sorted 500 from around 98 onwards good hunting please feel free to E mail me through my profile if you have any questions. Good hunting tom.

Only if you want to follow the herd.
Get yourself a precat - loads more trouble but much more fun.

precat owner

Pre-Cat definately nothing SOUNDS like em!

Maximum GRIN FACTOR

[Hoover.]

Another vote for pre-cat (4.3)..... might be down on engine size... but the noise is SO much better.....

get yourself a good one and it's as powerfull as most standard 500.

Just look at good ones of both, and decide..

I had new 4.3 for 6 years, swapped it for a new 500. now had that 10 years

500, is better (marginally), all round and I don't need to wear earplugs
