What are general thoughts on the price/spec?

Anyone on here know the car?

Looks a fair price for what it is, Griffs tend to command a higher price than Chims of a similar age/mileage/spec. I'd do your research, and if you can, get an experienced TVR owner come with you.

Reasonably experienced myself (owned a 450 Chim).

Hope to take a peek this week.

you can bet that the owner paid a lot more than he is selling it for. Fernhurst didnt have any rough cars when I went there, so provided it hasnt been crashed, kept in a damp place or put those 1000 miles on via 1 mile journeys, I would say that it should be ok!

I have seen rough cars at **********.
As with any TVR thoroughly check chassis, do normal checks re engine, electrics etc..... Try and talk to previous owner. I wouldnt take any heart from the fact that it had previously been sold by a garage that is well thought of.

From the pics, it looks a very nice car. Good colour combo and with relatively low mileage, it looks well priced.
