TVR

With the introduction of the Griffith in 1992 TVR produced a car that embodied all the innovative design flair that the company had become famous for. Whereas some earlier TVRs were not known for their reliability, the Griffith broke this mould. Therefore, if you choose your car carefully and build in some additional funds for the upkeep, you shouldn't be disappointed with your purchase.

 

As a two-seater with a tiny boot the TVR Griffith is not ideal as an only car, but once you get behind the steering wheel and hear the roar of the V8 engine, practicality becomes less important.

There is no "standard" finish to any TVR and the Griffith is no exception. To enhance the leather and walnut interior customers are offered a wide range of trims to choose from. The gear knob and some switches are made out of alloy and on later models OZ seven-spoke alloy wheels were fitted.

With so many options on trim, tyres, paint and exhaust systems being available at the time of construction, no two cars are the same and it is very difficult to offer a standard guide price. What you should be aware of is that the Griffith falls into the Group 20 insurance category.

Try to find a late Griffith 500 and check out Owners Clubs and specialist dealers. With a top speed of 167mph and a 0 to 60 time of 4.1 seconds, if nothing else your Griffith will offer you an exhilarating driving experience. Track days are a safe way to explore the car's power, but be prepared to buy a set of replacement tyres. At around £20,000 plus a little extra for running repairs, a Griffith is by no means a cheap classic car, but it is one you are never likely to regret buying.
