The Appeal

The TVR Griffith is one of the most visceral British sports cars of the 1990s. Combining a Rover-derived V8 with a lightweight fibreglass body and minimal electronic intervention, these cars remain nimble, high-octane drives for the lucky driver, with a single-minded focus on pure thrills. This 4.3-litre example, fitted with a performance chip, has been in the hands of its current keeper for over two decades and has been a much-loved car for much of that time.

Offered without a current MOT certificate and with an interior that needs refreshing, this Griffith offers a new custodian the chance to bring it up to their own standard while building on a solid-looking foundation. It's a great set of bones for the enthusiast looking for a project, and we expect it'll prove very rewarding once completed.
