Griff Chim Chassis

Just testing the water here, I am restoring my griff which is in desperate need of a replacement chassis. After speaking to some chaps at the old TVR sight I was introduced to Dan from Edmondson Engineering, who had worked at the factory for 14 years as a chassis engineer on production and Tuscan challenge cars.

Basically he has offered to produce a brand new chassis, blasted and powder coated (properly) for £3648 but to do this he needs at least 5 confirmed orders.

Anyone interested??

Yes I'd love to, but sadly £3648 short at the moment.

Would dearly love to do a nut and bolt rebuild on the old girl. Good luck mate.

Hi Barry

we already make chassis' for the Griffith and Chimaera and had our own jig manufactured 2 years ago, our current price is £3475 plus vat, however we have recently fully recovered the cost of our jig and are now looking at reducing our prices and are aiming to get them under the £3k mark....yet to be announced as we are currently producing a chassis using CDS for all the round tube and this may become our standard production chassis, we haven't finalised the cost until we have actually finished it. We do a free initial inspection for new customers so we can advise on the state of your chassis and wether or not its more cost effective to replace it, we will also be offering a repair service, ie we will repair your own original chassis in our jig.

check out our jig and chassis here....
