Buyer’s notes

About the TVR Griffith 400

The Griffith went into production in 1991 with a glassfibre body on a tubular steel chassis and Rover’s 4.0-litre V8 of 240 bhp. Mechanically almost identical to the Chimaera, it was later offered with larger engines and built until 2002.

What moves the price

  • Chassis condition, the most important factor.
  • Engine size and specification, and any modifications.
  • History: specialist servicing and chassis work on record.

Before you buy, check

  • The chassis, starting with the outriggers, where the powder coat fails and the steel rots unseen; if in doubt, walk away.
  • Water in the cabin: damp carpets, stained leather and condensation in the instruments.
  • The V8 for oil leaks from the rocker covers, and the drive belt and tensioner.
