Griff spec questions
Discussion
On the hunt for a Griff and looking at the various haves/have nots, would be grateful for some knowledgeable opinions.
How beneficial is power steering ? Most have but should I be put off one without ? I've searched back at the possible options and seems about 2k for an electric fit if needed. Had much lighter cars without, just wondering how heavy with a big V8 stuck on top.
How bad are standardGriff brakes ? Theres one up with upgraded brakes, but only one so guessing with the right pads standard is ok, road use only.
No pre cats or cats plus sleeved exhaust, I'm thinking this is going be very loud, would adding back the main cat quieten it back down a notch or is there a cheaper solution ?, what exactly does a sleeved exhaust comprise of ?
500 Griffs, cam change at about 50k ? Cost ?

Many Thanks for the help all. I think my biggest worry was resale without PAS as so many have it fitted.
Had a Tamora a few years back so not new to the foibles of TVR ownership.
There's a purple one on Autotrader with Clive F manifolds, non cat Y and sleeved, this one also has SP12s and huge brakes, seems to have thrown money at the car.
Found another which sounds ideal, new outriggers and genuinely looked after just no PAS
