Which vehicle is the clutch slave cylinder from on a 1993 Griff 500 with the Rover gearbox ?? Need to replace my seals very shortly and I'm sure they'll be more expensive if I buy them from TVR rather than the original manufacturer.

Cheers

If it's a Girling cylinder, there'll be a casting number on the cyl. (e.g. 74660035), and maybe a figure that tells you the bore size (e.g. 70 for 0.7"). Armed with that info, you can try a Girling dealer/ motor factors. Usually a Girling seal kit is labelled something like SP4190 and will cost about a fiver.
As an aside, the bore of the MASTER cylinder can wear so badly out of round that a seal kit won't cure it for more than about 5 minutes. How to check: strip the cylinder, take the seals off the piston and drop the piston into the bore. If you can rock the piston up and down with your fingertip - or worse still, see the bore wear - then don't bother with a seal kit, replace the cylinder.
