Extra cold air fan in Griffith 500

[ruthingator]

Can anyone help?

Can't seem to find the control switch for the extra fan the Griff has in the drivers footwell. According to the Steve Heath book I purchased it's supposed to be somewhere by the steering column. Has anyone any more information on this?

I can't even seem to locate the fan! Is it just my car or do some Griffs not have this extra fan? Mine is a late 96 model.

Thanks

Dan,

Glad it's just not me!

Like all things with TVR I think it's a bit of luck if it was fitted to your car! Although, of the cars I looked at it seemed to be the 96 models that had them.

Does it have any benefit? Do you actually get any cold air from it? Which vents does it blow through?

On my 95 Griff the vent is an eyeball type on the R/H side of the drivers leg well between the door front edge and accelerator. The control is a rotary switch on the lowest edge of the padded dash to the right of the steering column. Only use so far has been when stuck in traffic at LeMans on a very hot weekend to help keep my legs from roasting.
