1996 TVR Griffith 500 

Asking Price: £27,950

1996 TVR Griffith 500 

Finished in the most tasteful colour combination of Ruby Mica Red with grey leather this exceptional Griffith is a rare find indeed. 

Supplied by Harrogate Horseless Carriages Ltd on 10th May 1996, this stunning example was cared for by the original buyer until 2014. 

Having covered just shy of 30,000 miles from new and having had two former keepers, both of which were TVR owners club members and clearly fastidious with the care and maintenance of this car. 

Being a 1996 car, the 5.0 litre V8 produces 340 bhp rather than the slightly later de-tuned cars, and is equipped with the far superior Borg Warner manual gearbox fitted to later cars. 

The original handbooks are present along with the radio instructions and service book, which contains an impressive 16 stamps. Another nice touch within the history file is the original bill of sale, price list and the sales brochure. 

Receipts and invoices are plentiful which show pretty much everything that's been spent on the TVR over the years.

At 22,000 miles the car was treated to new Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs to the front and rear. Whilst this work was being carried out the decision was made to also replace all the bushes with OEM items and, as everything was apart, and to future-proof the wishbones from any rust, they were powder-coated. Another upgrade to the car is the addition of an uprated radiator with twin fans. 

Ready to be enjoyed this glorious British brute will be supplied with a fresh MOT, all handbooks as mentioned above, car cover and two keys & fobs.
