Was at the TVR centre in Barnet yesterday, thought I'd go and drool over the T350's and Tamoras (which are really growing on me now - have to wait till the Tamoras are more around the £20k mark and do a part-ex!!)

And sat in the corner of the yard is a poor Griff 500 (P reg) with bird sh*t all over it, flat tyres and absolutely filthy. Looks like it hasn't been moved for months on end.

Bloody hell, I'll give it a good loving home if no-one wants it!!

Almost brought a tear to my eye!!

Why would it be left like that? Something un-econimical to repair or stolen recovered?

Or as Griffiths are being looked upon as classics in years to come, it should be put away like that in an old barn to be "found" later

I was there yesterday and saw it too - what a mess. I think I saw you arrive (mine was the rosso chim parked outside the office).
Did you see the orange T350T? What a beauty!

I do remember seeing a red Chim there, sounded lovely when you left! Mine was the N reg Chim with the headlight upgrade. Wow, my first 'spotted'!!

The T350 was beautiful wasn't it! There was a nice black one with stick on white number plate lettering to. Parked infront of the sorry looking Griff actually!

Not sure, I was hoping someone on here could shead some light onto the story of the unhappy Griff.

Hopefully it'll have a happy ending!!

Why don't you just ring them and ask. You never know, you may get very lucky.
