SE Griffith 500 sales brochure / promo literature
Discussion
Having aquired an SE, does anyone know or can tell me or have a copy of the original TVR sales brochure for the last 100 cars, I have been told by various dealer there was a brochure specifically for these cars, I would like to aquire one or if someone has one could you scan it and e-mail to me, appreciate everyones help in advance, Paul.
I managed to get a 2000 Motorshow Press pack which included a CD with some pictures - including my car in a quarry. The only late brochure I had seen was the Green 500 in a warehouse from about 98. So if there is one... 
Around 2002 the dealer's websites had pictures of a light blue SE on them. The Roger Shackleton Book on the Griffith did include some brochures - but I don't recall a special SE one.
I see you are the other end of the Test Valley - might see you about - although if you're going for lowest milage - possibly not

I'd also be interested in knowing if there was a proper brochure produced. In terms of other SE literature, TVR produced several postcards featuring a light blue SE - these were probably used for SE images that appeared on some of the dealer websites. TVR also produced a commemorative photograph of SE Number 100.
Sorry for delay in posting my thanks to everyone so far as have been in Glasgow most of this week, yes aware of all these points and info, I do have most of what has been mentioned thus far, have spoken to most sources now, I guess just need to keep looking, would be great to hook up with some of you this year with the car, Paul
Hi,
I've got Griffith 500SE cards by TVR featuring the Special Addition
I currently own 2 Griffith SE's.
No's 11 & 88
Both Low mileage and concours.
Out of interest my No 88 has only 2800 verified miles on her.
She is in Swordfish (Flip Flop paint.) only SE in this finish (Great Car)
No 11 full leather and superb. They're a nice hobby.
Both cars trailer serviced at TVR Power now in Coventry.

Hi James, many thanks for the info, if at all possible would you please consider / be kind enough to scan in high resolution your SE brochures, would be most appreciative if you could e-mail them to me, paul@temprotech.com.
I know your swordfish SE no 88, beleive you picked this one up from James Agger some years ago and had it fully restored to as new, wow very low miles like my own SE.
SE no 11 looks great too, a real credit to you, do you ever get out in them to any events, I'm thinking of this years growl. Once again appreciate your comments and information, looking foreward to hearing from you, Paul.

Hi Paul,
I'll see what I can do.
James (Agger) knows 88 well.
I'll have to take some pictures of her.
I sent her back to TVR Blackpool when I first got her.
She was immaculate but not concours.
She's only done a few hundred miles more since I obtained her and thats during service to get her through MOT omissions.
They went over her with a fine tooth comb and TVR Power maintain and polish the engine of both cars.
I then obtained 88TVR number-plate. (long story.)
I've got loads of original spares from the first supplied blue cans of puncture repair, including those supplied with cars originally, to wheel hubs and gauges as I anticipated the sad demise of the company.
Existing pictures don't do the cars justice.
No 11 I loved the colour and previously had the identical standard Griffith 500 which strangely is currently for sale (X747 BNA) on Pistonheads.
Rob Ingleby knows No 11 well.
A lovely car.
Believe it or not I also collect original Corgi 1960's models with packing.
I've got hundreds of em.
I suppose I'm a bit of a collector.
Stressful job so this is my hobby indirectly.
I had an E55 Mercedes estate up to a year ago which I purchased when 6 months old in 2006.
Nice car, very fast but no real soul.
Like you, I like my cars.
Best wishes
James

Hi James, thanks for your reply, appreciate your help with the TVR SE special addition cards and spec's, I guess these are the two A5 size cards showing the light blue SE front & rear veiws with technical spec on the reverse, unless you have the A4 sales brochure, which does apperently exisit accordoing to a number of the dealers whom sold the SE cars, it would be very kind of you to scan up all relating data you have for the SE in high resolution and send, looking forward to hearing from you again, Paul.
davepen, thanks for your reply, will keep you posted on what I can find, yep would be up for a meet, where are you in Hampshire 
Mr MoJo appreciate your input, will also keep you posted, hoping to get to some of this years events.
DMark, also appreciate your reply, likewise will keep you posted.
Reeso, your Paris Blue SE looks great and I have seen these images, fantastic, will keep in touch.
Reagrds to you all Paul.

Hi Reeso, appreciate your fast reply (good one), yep would love to get a collection of SE's going, not sure what the wife would think though, just for your interest, you have probably noticed car 20 up with James Agger (finally one of the 20's located), car 87 is also on and Mole Valley has car 68 coming in soon with just one owner and low miles! what do you think the chances are of getting a few SE owners togeather during the summer would be (I am sure this has been done / tried before), Paul. 
Tried before. The Griff Growl is probably the best way of doing it. They have had griffs from afar before and quite a few SE's over the years.
With this event, it is fairly central to the country so it tends to arounf 100 griffs turn up over the 2/3 days.
Other than that, if I were free on a set date, I would try to turn up (if I still had the car mind!)
