July 1995 TVR Griffith 500, Olympic Pearlescent Blue 60,000 miles - £16,995.00

The TVR Griffith 500, was designed and built by TVR between 1991 and 2002.

Like its forerunner namesakes, the Griffith 200 and Griffith 400, the Griffith 500 is a lightweight (1048 kg or 2310 lb) fibreglass-bodied, 2-door, 2-seat sports car with a V8 engine.

Originally, it used a 4.0 Litre 240 hp (179 kW) Rover V8 engine, but that could be optionally increased to 4.3 Litre 280 hp (209 kW) in 1992 with a further option of big-valve cylinder heads. In 1993 with a TVR-developed 5.0 Litre 340 hp (254 kW) version of the Rover V8 became available. All versions of the Griffith use the Lucas 14CUX engine management system and a five-speed manual transmission.

Although the Griffith was almost mechanically identical to its sister car, the Chimaera, it had a different body design and was produced in much smaller numbers. Currently the Department for Transports Q2 2014 statistics, state that there are 783 Griffiths licensed with a further 280 under SORN.

In 2000, TVR announced that the Griffith production was going to end. A limited edition run of 100 Special Edition (SE) cars were built to mark the end of production.

 

This Griffith 500, which was delivered in July 1995, has been cherished by its last owner since 2009. Testament to this is the extensive folder of bills and MOTs and comprehensive service history as follows:
