TVR Griffith

I bought one of these a while back now, having lived near the Fernhurst TVR garage for most of life I saw these cars arrive on the forecourt shiny and new and LOUD! After selling my other car I discovered that I could whack £10k down as deposit and finance the rest of a Griff '88 reg. (This was in 1992) After much searching, well not really I went in and they had a s/hand green with full leather trim, new tyres and after an hour of filling in finance forms the car was mine to pick up the follwoing day. The guys at fernhurst are quite fond of the customers and they warned me about the power being deliverd to the back wheels both dry and wet ...  Read the complete review

The TVR Griffth is a super quick car that zooms past any other on the road. The 5.0-litre V8 engine is just amazing and highly enjoyable to drive in. The sense of speed thrills you when you enter the car, and you know this is one of Britain's finest sports cars. I really enjoy staring at the TVR Griffth, loving the way it appears.

It would greatly surprise me if any current production 5 litre Griff or ...  Read the complete review

i have a friend and he has saved his entire life to get one of these babies and OH MY GOD is it worth it. he was kind enough to take me for a spin in his new TVR Griffth 500, not quite a spin but more of a rip along the country roads where i live. After the other common cars had passed (obviously in the other direction) he turned to me and said "let me show u what she can really do." at this point i was pinned to the seat and not released until we had reached a good 80mph, and this was only due the fact that a sharpish corner was approaching. he gentlely applied the brake and we coasted round the corner at unbelievable speeds. i fell in love. ...  Read the complete review
