Orange TVR Griffith 500 - on carbs

[Droptheclutch]

Hi All

I'm trying to track down the owner of an Apache Pearl (orange) Griff 500. This car has a carb set up and I'd be keen to speak/e-mail the owner about it.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

How on earth does one get a post-'92 (i.e. mandatory K9 emissions code) registered car on carbs, legally in The Netherlands? And why would one want to do it anyway? Even the old flapper injection systems are superior to any carb system for performance as well as emissions and driveability...

I don't know, but Rob Ingleby (TVR guru) inspected this car and reckons it runs just as well as the injected Griff 500. It has quite a few other mods too, and is (apparently) owned by a chap in the Netherlands.

Andy from Monster TVR has a supercharged RV8 Griff on carbs:

Think Apache is your man. Car now sold, but I think he's the guy to talk to.
