Are there any mechanical differences between an early Griff 500 and a later one? Or any differences at all for that matter? I am under the impression the very last few had a few cosmetic and interior revisions? Cheers

I may be wrong, but weren't the early 500s pre-serps?

Look at that bracket on the swirl pot - pump. They even vary on the pre-serps. TVR must have shifted the swirl pot slightly, some have the 'lipped edge' all the way round & flat others aren't lipped on the short side and seem offset as far as I can tell wink I think yours is the one that clamps on a serp front cover (upgrade) easier BTW Andy from what Ant said.
