Dropped my Griff in to TVR Power today to have the tappets adjusted and they've loaned by a Chim. Suddenly realised that since my S2 10 years ago, and three short test drives, I've never actually driven another TVR.

Without wishing to start WWIII I thought I'd mention that the inside seems very strange in comparison. Reminds me of my sister's old MGRV8. Although it's a year younger than mine (P reg) the fan control switch looks very out of place and the whole inside looks a lot less cohesive. Being the (slightly) newer design I was a bit disappointed.

Nice big boot though.

Also, it's a standard 4ltr and it's very soft and woofly in comparison - almost normal. waits for the sound of distant gunfire...

I test drove a 450, and maybe because it had PAS, or maybe becasue it had cats, it felt rather like driving an 'ordinary' car compared to my Griff. Rather dull in fact.
However I hasten to add that if you throw away the PAS and cats, it might be more entertaining.

You are going to be disappointed with the last 100 Griffs then - they all have Chimaera-esque dashes.
