Look closely at this impressive TVR Griffith 200, and you will see it is restored to perfection. A powerful sixties sportscar, both suitable for road and track. Finished in stunning Opalescent Gunmetal, with a beautifully trimmed interior in black hide. This car has been the subject of a total nut-and-bolt restoration, and is now in much better condition as it ever has been. The whole restoration process is documented with many invoices, and the car is of course confirmed by both TVRCC and Mike Mooney as being a real Griffith. It has appeared in many magazines, and all these articles are in the file as well. In short, this is a very well documented sportscar.

TVR Griffiths are very impressive sportscars. The Ford 289ci small block - similar to an AC Cobra 289 - offers plenty of torque and power (+/- 300 bhp), and it is indeed a very intimidating machine to drive. Once you get used to the supercar performance of this featherweight TVR, it is a most effective driving device. The soundtrack makes it all even more dramatic, and after a short drive with this Griffith, you will feel the adrenalin rushing through your body. The very effective Wizard Cooling radiator keeps the engine cool - even in traffic jams - and as all electrics are new we would even dare to call it a reliable car now ! The combination of stonking performance and the squat yet purposeful looks makes these rare cars (only 192 examples produced) so iconic and sought after. It is after all one of the maddest sportscars ever produced, and very much a competitor of much more expensive machinery like the AC Cobra 289 and Jaguar E-Type Lightweight.

Finding a Griffith in a similar good condition like this one is a tough job, as there has been spent an impressive amount of money on this car over the last years, The quality of this TVR is so much better then when it originally left the New York factory of Jack Griffith, and we can honestly say that this example is one of the best Griffiths in the world. A true collectors item, for the connoisseur who only wants the very best. Are you the one who will tame this beast ?
