Alexander Gurr Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 A TVR Griffiths was always a car I had always wanted to try, but now it is time for me to return to the world of 7'ing, so am looking to swap my car, with cash either way, for the right 7. My car is a 1997 TVR Griffiths 500, with the following highlights: - Dark blue - Blue mohair roof - Magnolia & Blue leather interior - Totally standard apart from some Leven aluminium trim accessories - CD player, with 6 disk changer in the boot - 26,500 miles - Full TVR Service History, the last one approximately 1,500 miles ago - Tax'd and MOT'd - Good tyres all around The car was sourced from a known TVR specialist (James Agger) at the end of February. It was in fantastic condition, but had been little used for a number of years and so had a number of niggly issues which needed to be ironed out (these cars don't like not being used). I spent quite some time sorting the little issues out to get it in the perfect condition it is now. After the initial teething troubles and with some proper use the car has performed faultlessly, despite what many people may say about TVR's 😬 It is a fantastic machine with a soundtrack to die for, but is not quite raw enough for my tastes, so I am looking to swap for an appropriately silly 7. Ideally I am looking for a: - Superlight - Superlight R - R300 - R400 I would value the Griff at just under £17k, so would be looking for cash either way depending on the type and condition of the 7. Anyone who is interested please drop me a line and I can send you some photographs. Cheers, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irrotational Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Do you want your old one back!? 😳 Only kidding - I love it and I'm keeping it! 😬 Besides which the polishing has gone down hill a bit with genuine cornish and scottish mud on the car 😳 Oh! and another 10k miles 😬 --- this is a local sig for local people!

Alexander Gurr Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Yeah, I get bored pretty easily. This is the problem. The only car I have ever owned that kept me amused for more than 5 minutes was the 7 - thats why I want another one. Don't get me wrong, the TVR is fantastic and great fun, but just not really my cup of tea 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CageyH Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I was, but it is only a mere uprated supersport. It's also coming to France now.
