Re-Joining the Clan

[Green Meanie]

Good Morning All, after a long and extended break from the TVR scene I thought it was time for a catch up with a view to re- joining 😊

[hillclimbmanic]

Welcome back.!!

[rigga]

Welcome back, pretty sure I'm still using one of your warning light panels?

[Green Meanie]

Yes Rigga you probably are along with quite a lot of others 👍 it’s been a while.

I tried giving up TVR's twice, '95 to '97 and '01 to '05. Given up giving up now and only own/drive TVR's now

[Loubaruch]

Good to see you back Craig, your indicator light engraved panel has stood the test of time and looks fine

[Green Meanie]

Good to hear from you Loubaruch, are you still on with the vintage hill climbing.
P.S saved one of my panels for my next Griff, also made up a heater panel as well 😉

Really miss the Griff, built a few Hot Rods still got my 32 coupe and thinking of getting another Pre Cat as I am now becoming a man of leisure 😳 and need something to keep me occupied 😂

Hi Craig,

Yes still in the VSCC taking pics, well I would if there had been any events this year. Hopefully 2020 will be more promising.

Welcome back. I too can't keep away from TVRs to long, they always seem to draw me back in!

I have a pre-cat which is missing the black perspex heater control panel, do/can you make those?

[Green Meanie]

Hi MikeE
Sorry just got the one prototype that I made and not planning to make anymore at the moment.

Yes let’s hope things improve all round in the New Year 🤞

Morning all - delighted to say that after a 13 year break I am back ! Just picked up my 98 Griff 500 this week.

Sold my last Griff back in 2005 and fell out of love after my Cerbera in 2007.

Griff still feels and sounds as great as it did way back when !

[AllezWasps]

After 2 Griffs, 2 Cerbs and a 450SE I also had a hiatus for about 7-8 years- I was convinced I had kicked the habit but found myself (purely through lockdown boredom) looking through the classifieds during the summer. We all know that can be a very dangerous thing and sure enough it wasn’t long before another Griff 500 had been bought! Oh how I’d missed that noise!

[R8FUN]

20 Years ago we sold our 2 year old Griff 500, from the day it was built it was nothing but trouble!
We always loved them & we were heavily into the WYorks club but couldn't cope any more with the problems & being told " but its a hand made car sir, they all have teething problems"
I really never thought we would be back until my Wife this Summer said it would be nice to have a V8 again!
Job done, we now have a 97 Griff 500 in the garage. So far at 23 years old its more reliable than the first one!!

Good to be back.
