Description Appealing Griffith 500 boasting 340bhp; well loved example showing 79,000 miles with documented replacement outriggers Supplied new by Harrogate Horseless Carriages Ltd in September 1995 this appealing TVR Griffith 500 is finished in a lovely hue of Blue with matching Blue Mohair soft-top and Targa section and sits on its original seven spoke 16” inch alloy wheels.
Under the handsome front we find the front-mid mounted 5.0 litre V8 engine which was reputed to develop a whopping 340bhp when new and 475NM of torque driving the rear wheels (with no driver aids) via five-speed Tremec manual transmission.
Performance on offer was and remains brisk, with the dash to sixty recorded at just 4.1 seconds and top speed of 169mph if you have the minerals and desire.
Inside, we find grey leather interior with black carpets, wood veneer dash, electric windows, original Clarion radio/Cassette player and the typical array of non-marked TVR switchgear so some guess-work is needed at firs...
