Buyer’s notes
About the TVR Griffith 500
The Griffith 500 arrived in 1993 with a TVR-developed 5.0-litre version of the Rover V8, rated at 340 bhp, in the same glassfibre body on a tubular steel chassis as the smaller-engined Griffiths. It stayed in the range until Griffith production ended in 2002.
What moves the price
- Chassis condition, more than mileage.
- Originality: modifications and the quality of any accident repairs.
- History: specialist servicing and chassis work on record.
Before you buy, check
- The chassis, outriggers first, where the powder coating fails and the steel rots unseen.
- The glassfibre body for crazing and poor accident repairs, and the seals for water getting into the cabin.
- The V8 for oil leaks and the condition of its belt and tensioner.
