Modified 1966 Griffith Series 400 crazy 600hp

[GTRene]

ok, not nice in some ways, although it has some good things, yes the 600hp thats crazy lol.
but I mean, that rear window can be opened, thats nice I think, also the 2 little rear/side windows, not bad.

also like some of the bodywork things, but also a lot not, hah.

all in all a Monster Griffith, many pictures on the side, here just a few.

















way more here and some video with stationair sound, it sounds loud, even with the DB killers supertrap in the exhausts.

An engineering masterpiece undoubtedly, but in my view it’s not a looker like the originals - especially from the front.

Automatic too

All the time, effort and money put into it and as you say "an engineering masterpiece" maybe. But the beauty has been lost

Sorry - not for me.

A huge amount of work must have gone into the car, and it's possible that it's all technically clean.

But when you do something like this, you have to seriously ask yourself how many people there are who want to buy such an ugly monster...

agreed.

The tail lights are nice ...

they now have this short video, were it looks better then so into your face on some close up pictures I must say.

And how small they are compared to the rest.

I remember, from the last time this car came up, that the owner has limited strength/use of his left leg. That explains the automatic trans.

I don't understand the solution for an opening rear hatch. Could have been done just like the Taimar, and not lost what I consider to be one of the most pleasing features of TVRs in this era, the rear glass.

The front end -Interesting wheel arch treatment. Hideous middle section. Reminds me of the Haynes hillclimb car.


Nevertheless, I hope that the owner gets to enjoy it. The performance must be thrilling.

$55k finishing bid - reserve not met.

thats way to low I guess, a lot of money went in, maybe even 150k+?

I guess only a very small market for such monster TVR, even the original Griffith has a small market, but loved, a market for this one is way smaller , but I guess its about 85k for one who likes power and strangeness?

maybe a wrong week to sell or les good times since a lot cars went lower?

I wonder how it drives with that much power, but also a lot made different, so maybe it feels ok and can handle it if you tiptoe
