THE IMPORTANT BIT (WHY THIS CAR)

Most Griffiths at this mileage are:
• On tired engines
• Due a rebuild
• Sitting on original chassis components

This one isn’t.

✔ Fully rebuilt engine (John Eales cam & followers)
✔ Refurbished gearbox + diff
✔ Clutch, hydraulics, oil system – all done
✔ Chassis + outriggers – excellent

Buy it, drive it, enjoy it, love it.

⸻

ENGINE & PERFORMANCE
• 5.2 V8 – fully rebuilt
• High-lift cam – massive low-end torque
• New rings, bearings, oil pump, intake, sensors
• Re-cored radiator
• Properly run in (motorway miles, multiple oil changes)

Pulls hard from low revs – even in 5th. Proper TVR torque.

⸻

GEARBOX & DRIVETRAIN
• Later spec gearbox (Tuscan/Chimaera type – better design)
• Fully rebuilt (synchros, seals, bronze components)

THE REALITY

I wasn’t planning to sell this car.

It’s had serious time, money, and effort put into making it right. But I’ve got another Griffith (6.0 LS), and two is one too many.

You will struggle to find another at this price with:
• Engine done properly
• Drivetrain sorted
• Chassis this good

⸻

PRICE: £29,995

Not desperate to sell. Not interested in low offers.

If you want a cheap Griffith – there are plenty.
If you want a sorted one – this is it.

Message if you’re serious. Happy to talk through the car properly.
