Apache

[mel]

Your not thinking of selling your beast at any time in the near future are you ???

The original idea after I got rid of my 400 was to save like a demon till the end of the year and get a Tamora, now feeling the urge to say bollox and just get a newer 500. I've been looking all over but being a picky buger I want:
1. A colour different from the normal blue/green etc
2. Dark leather interior in top notch nick
3. Anthracite wheels
4. A decent service history from a respected garage (not bothered if offical or independant)
5. sub 20K budget
6. de catted sports exhaust
7. Power steering for Mrs Mel

In other words yours would do nicely
Don't you fancy upgrading at all after Flashers been showing off ????
Well you never know unless you ask do you!

Mel,
my 98R 500 Griffith is advertised in Pistonheads classifieds. Fits all requirements other than Wheels. Giallo Fly Yellow with Navy Leather. Have a look and if of interest contact me.

Got to be honest I've been through the classifieds with a fine toothcomb (and every one elses) and although there is without a doubt some good gear out there nothing has quiet got that little sparkle that makes it really special IMO of course...and yellows just not me it clashes with my mac sorry...

This car has got to be special enough to draw me away from the hankering for a Tamora and really float my boat.

mel, sorry for the delay, been out of the country with no internet access. I was close to selling for a Tamora but I love the Griff too much. I aint selling but thanks for the thought, it has become a kind of project now with constant improvements and tweaks. Just fitted Leven badges same blue as wheel caps on chrome, polished the door ally and tailpipes fitted a small number plate, cleaned and painted wishbones and chassis rails etc etc. Next expense will be a nose and ears respray and engine remap

I nearly bought your car Apache. I was that close to handing over the deposit. Are you pleased with it. I couldnt convince myslf on the colour as my boss has an SLK in vertually the same shade. I bought an olympic blue one instead.

Hmmm that'll get the anti-gold badge brigade jumping mad p.s. since there are new regulations concerning plates, did you encounter any problems getting a smaller one? R...

I've just got some Blue badges from Leven, they are superb!!

I cheated with the front number plate, just trimmed the edges to within a few mm of the letters, so plate is smaller but letters are still readable..

Apache, have you got any up-to-date piccys of your Griff? I would love to see the difference?

[apache]

zip, chuffed to f**k, as far as I know there is only one other in the same colour and it has run like a beaut ever since, love the full leather and the individuality, thats what TVR is all about in my opinion

rich, no probs with the plate...I tend not to follow police cars

lensey, more pics to come...when I find time

Its always a sign that you've got a good one when others openly ask if it's for sale. Cheers Apache and I don't blame you for not wanting to flog it, but it was worth asking
