Bought my Griff from Adrian. Personally I like his approach, he is pretty laid back and doesn't do the high pressure thing. I wasn't sure if I wanted a 4.3 or a 500, he was happy to let me drive both cars back to back. You view the cars (3 or 4 at a time)at his house, he doesn't have a showroom which I think might put some people off, but at least you know where he lives should anything go wrong!! If you have any questions feel free to contact me off line at drshinton@hotmail.com I have had the griff for 3 months and I still have the original smile on my face from the first time I drove it. Cheers Dan

I believe he does have a showroom now (or will very shortly). I'll vouch for him - like you say relaxed attitude etc. I bought my car from Adrian 3 years ago and have been extremely happy with it.

3 Months Warranty..... I'm sure you could extend it if required. I'll see if I can dig out the details tonight but the warranty itself is from a warranty company so I recon you could just call and tell them how long you want.

Yep, I too can vouch for Adrian Blyth. I bought a Griff 500 last year from him, a good, sound car plus I got a fair deal from him on my S3 as a trade in. Relaxed, friendly, my only grumble really was that the car was pretty grubby when I took ownership - bit of elbow grease required but it now looks like it's come straight out of the box. Simon
