is it possible to change hubs disc etc, to allow the fitment of tamora wheels 18ins, to a griffith

[raceboy]

Simple answer, yes, there was a factory hack with this done, but it's not going to be cheap

is that the car that Autocar ended up buying? one of the best looking Griffs I've ever seen

No, it was Neil Anderson's chassis development hack. It's a gunmetal grey pre-cat Griff which was originally used to test suspension and brake bits for the Cerbera. Consequently it's got Cerb 5 bolt hubs, and now appears to have 16" spider wheels and Tamora brakes. It's a darker colour than the one Autocar bought and still has the proper 4.0/4.3 nose.

I believe this car was one of the original press cars - it looks like the one Performance Car tested way back when. I bet it sounds and handles brilliantly!

Pete,
yeah thats the one, I saw it in that edition of Evo where they tested one of the last 100 Griffs, if I could spec a Griff it would be like that one, it is bloody beautiful. That article is the best thing I have ever read about the Griff and sums it for me perfectly "it feels as though it had been built for me"

Neil also says that whilst the rear was ok to do the front was a complete nightmare. Apparently the location point for the track rod ends onto the steering arms is completly different on the Granada steering pins compared to the TVR made Cerbera items (higher or lower not sure which), so he had to invert the steering rack, which meant he had to slightly alter the line of the steering column etc. etc. Apparently he would never do another one!
