Spotted on Tuesday evening, going over Trent bridge Nottingham a great looking yellow Griff 500.
I think the number plate was on top of the nose instead of on the grill.

Bet it was no-one on here?

Aha! Hi James!

Didn't see you in the crystal topaz Tuscan. But yes I live at the top of Mapperley plains and was just out for a 30 mile round trip to Sainsbury's - 2 miles away.
But I did see a Grey Tamora that evening!!!

Hope things are going well for you.

I saw a yellow griff on the back of a transporter on Beggar bush lane in Bristol at lunchtime today. The number plate was N41... I think it was a 500 as it had the funny rear lights.

Edited to say I think I've seen the BB mobile fully repaired before BB has.

Hi
I'm totally new to TVR ownership i saw BB's Grif at the body shop the day before it was collected/delivered. I must say it did look superb! I know it was yours as Jason showed me the photos of it as it went in and said I would find ref's to Ballistic Bannan on this web site. I was at the body shop as whilst in Yorkshire on holiday a Disco opted to park on my Chimeara instead of the parking spaces all around it!

Hi ed sorry to hear about that little mishap and hope you get it sorted asap.
What did the photos look like,apparently there where some when they had cut the front off an everything damaged had been taken off and they where quite scary.
