Recently picked this up to have some rear wheel fun in the summer,wagon is staying as the runaround and kiddie carrier

TVR Griffith 500
Mad as a box of frogs,and loud as hell with basicly a straight through pipe set up on a 5ltr v8

 

Sweet!!

I've had a run out in a Cerbera before and that was mental, I considered a Tuscan S before getting what I have now, however, the service costs were on the silly side of things. I'd love a Sagaris!!

You cannot beat TVRs, the sound is immense!

shut it

I looked at some of the older tvr' before I went for that, I quite like the wedges, there just isnt many decent ones around anymore.

Awesome machine, mate. Driven a couple before and mental isn't the word.

My mate had a 500 for a few years and found that some parts could be got from the local motor factors and are the same as a Rover V8. He got through a fair few alternators due the the massive under bonnet temps and paid about 4 times a much from TVR as from Rover.

 

wouldnt drive it in the wet mate lol . they are seriously mental .

 

For a while I thought you may have bought a new motorbike?

The TVR is different & nice choice. Had the pleasure of driving my friends cerbera a few years ago and that was mental. Lucky for me it was a dry sunny day. I had to behalf myself on the twisty just incase.

Summer is here, roof down & have fun.

You've got far too much money laying around but I like your style!

On a serious note. A couple of mates of mine used to work in the local TVR dealership. 1 was the workshop supervisor and the other was the parts manager. And you really can buy most of the parts from your local motor factors.

Jacko (the spanner man) has gone into business on his own now and Jason (parts man) is running the front of house for him.
So for cheaper TVR parts and advice from people that know, give em a bell and tell em that Joe gave you their number.

Az..... no finally gave up on the bikes,never got the time with the lad about to go out,this way i figure i can get a blat in every now and then with him in the passenger seat always fancied a v8 of somesorts,and a mate of mine has a very nice cerbera he has converted to monster LS power,touch over 500 bhp..... got me thinking,so started to look for a Griff......it is a serious hoot for the complete aural experience,i love the scoob rumble,but gotta say not a patch on an virtually open piped v8

Its a dry sunny day stress reliever,prices are falling to sensible levels now,dont forget these cars are getting on a bit,and chimaera's of the same vintage command roughly 3-4k less than the Griffith due to the numbers produced over and above Griff production.... same car under the skin

You all know you want one
