FYI - Griffith 200 up for auction on BAT…No affiliation. Owned by the same family for the last 30 years.

Auction coming to a close in the next couple of days so it should be fun to watch!

yeah, keeping an eye on that one as well, not my color, but like the side pipes and alu? protection at the body were the side pipes go :-) and wonder what it will bring up, guess about 85k $

I can not bid on cars, you need a credit card and I don't have that, I do not want a credit card, to scary me biggrin

a while ago I saw some lovely prints how to make a Griffith 200 look in Red Bull cloth, I do like that, although would fit other wheels, but like the body how it looks, would love such looks in such small monster car.

I guess there are people out there that could make such come true, maybe wrapping it like that? or is wrapping a plastic car a bad idea?
love it, see, also that 63 I would want that all on it, just some other wheels, although not bad but look a bit ? in the pictures>>

I’m actually surprised it didn’t fetch more.

Are you thinking it would have sold for more in the spring? I hadn’t considered seasonal fluctuations.

Thinking from a European perspective: many prospective buyers can only imagine a classic car when it is warmer. Who wants to drive around outside in the dark and cold with such a device?

But admittedly: the car might be parked in some Sunshine State in America, where it is always dry and warm anyway?!

On the other hand, the interested parties are again spread all over the world. And then the season does play a role.

Love those.
Their asking prices give credence to my thought on the sales price of the one on BaT.
At $1.21/£, it leaves a large budget to do pretty much anything you’d want to with it.
Granted, my thoughts are predicated on it being FIA vintage race eligible. Not sure if that is/would be the case.
