Any details/ Guesses/ Ideas?

Was thinking about an upgrade as I think my Griffith 500 suspension is on the way out. This sounds interesting.

And while we're at it, how does this compare to the TVR Centre's Ohlins setup? (assuming they still do it).

Just wear and tear I think (plus too many damn speed bumps in Surrey & London). 35000 miles and seven years seems a fair life I suppose.

I asked about this at the Motorshow but discovered very little. According to the factory it "transforms" the handling but no one could tell what it actually comprises. There were a couple of adjustable shock absorbers on display, gold and purple IIRC. I was told that the price could be iro £2000 (but as they didn't know what it was I took this with a pinch of salt!)

Strange, as I to being a GRiff owner was wondering what the RR package for the Griff did and cost.

Has anyone tried a dealer to see what they know?

Hmm I think I will mail Mole Valley.

The Red Rose package better be pretty special, since the Ohlins setup is also around 2k. Maybe they're the same thing - I hope so.

As much as I know:

Its 2.5K or thereabouts. Its uprated shocks and more progressive springs.

Hi. I just heard back from Mole Valley and they recomend speaking to a chap called Mike Williams at TVR on 01253 509 019.

However the Mole chap says the RR for the GRiff has new brakes, dampers and springs, ecu and some engine mods including CAMS, but the engine mods he did not have all the details. He aslo said that the price was about 3500.
