Never heard of this before...

I think it's TMS selling a gorgeous looking R-plate Griff for £25k or so, resplendant in magnificent moonraker metallic black BUT - with a 4.5 litre engine?

Let me see; 4.0, 4.3 'big bore' and 5.0 litre.

Er, what, why, how, when, etc...?

They have reduced it to 23k.

I had a sit in it last week - it is in great condition.

IIRC you could 'special order' a 4.5 - I've seen ads for another a while back.

The car was built for a personal friend of Peter Wheeler. They live in Ireland and she has had every new model that Peter Wheeler has ever released from the factory. Very enthusiastic owner and a really nice woman to talk to...

The car is a complete 1 off and has the Chimeara 4.5 engine it it. No mods to the engine at all. It was ordered as such as she wanted a smoother car than her previous 500.

The car is in great condition and has the full sports pack suspension.

It drives extremely well and I got quite close to buying it although there were several large ?????'s which were not able to be answered by TMS or Danielle at the factory.

At the time I was thinking about buying the car TMS/Factory were prepared to take 2.5k off the price with a load of work I wished to be done to the car aswell.

The car does drive very well and is good fun through the twisties. I did not believe it was performing aswell as it could have been and tested and 500 back to back. I am glad I opted for a 500 in preference in the end.

The car is owned by the factory and has been on 'sale or return' for the last 2.5yrs and has lived in Scotland and Sussex and now Melton Mowbray.
