About this car

The Griffith 500 is the car that defined TVR's 1990s reputation: a light, open two-seater with a Rover-derived 5.0-litre V8, a five-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. There are no driver aids to speak of, which is much of the appeal.

This 1996 (N-plate) example has covered just 22,369 miles, which is very low for a car of this age and type. It has had three previous owners, and the dealer describes a strong service history with the car well maintained.

It has only just arrived at the dealer, a TVR specialist, and is being prepared in the workshop, so it is not yet ready for viewing.
