Christ I thought that was the old Joe Ward Griff (was redone that colour a few years back).

THAT AIN'T a Griff. And there is no way that would be allowed in the Thoroughbreds or S60's! If that was a Griff400 then they owner nees to be taken out and "worked over".

Fair enough. I just like it. Ok, rather not have the bonnet scoop but thats all.

Anyway as I'm just down the road I will pop over there and have a look around the mustang, TVR and Ultima

[jellison]

The "TVR" has been sold - privately (I mailed the Auction to say the write-up was wrong).

Not a Griff really and not eligible for Thoroughbreds or S60 (other "maybe" but I would not be happy if racing that clone).

The rear arches are just So wrong (but apart from that looks nicely done).

My bulge will be about the same.

Really informative web site (not). Details of start time and viewing arrangements would be helpful!

It looks like the rear bodywork started life with the 'fins' found on Granturas and early Griffiths and then later had the griffith 400/ Vixen kamm tail grafted on

they have boxed the arches to allow huge tyre under there, not like the old style fia apporved arches (like i have) or the currently ok stuff (round Mk1 Escort round type look), they should sweep in at the back but instead stat with the awful box profile!
