What’s special about this listing

This 1996 TVR Griffith 500 is finished in metallic OLYMPIC BLUE, with a magnolia and navy blue hide interior and a navy mohair roof! The upper and lower dash sections have been re-veneered in a very tasteful walnut burr. Refurbished original TVR Estoril alloys with brand new Toyo Proxes tires, the later Bilstein dampers / springs fitted, along with regular geometry checks and the lack of power steering makes this Griffith very enjoyable to drive (with all of the audible experiences you could hope for).

The engine is the original 5.0 Serpentine TVR V8 (Rover V8). The engine has the factory original ECU and ACT smooth bore air intake system, the exhaust system has been upgraded to the full ACT stainless sports system includes manifolds. The soundtrack is now much more in tune with what you would expect a 5.0L British brute to sound like. The alarm system was upgraded to the later Meta type in 2014 by the TVR alarm guru HF Solutions who also fitted a remote boot release function. First registered in May 1996, this car has had just 5 owners in 25 years.

This Griffith is technically A1 and has a fully stamped service record and a full Service history. The car is in outstanding condition, notwithstanding its seniority and its mileage. An incredible soundtrack, outstanding performance, reliable as old boots, and with the wind in your hair..... Everything you would expect from a TVR Griffith 500.

Import and US titled, this fine example is available for immediate delivery / handover to its lucky new owner.
