Starmist Ocean Haze with Wedgewood leather and aqua carpet
5.0-litre V8
Well-documented service history from new, maintained by TVR specialists
Cherished 'TVR' registration plate 'E519 TVR' included in the sale
Stored in a dehumidified garage
The Appeal
How we miss TVR, especially those built during the Peter Wheeler era. These were mad cars with bonkers styling, huge horsepower, and no driver aids.
The Griffith 500 sat at the top of the Griffith range, marrying TVR's lightweight fibreglass body with a 5.0-litre Rover V8 to create one of the most thrilling British sports cars of the 1990s. Raw, immediate, and unapologetically analogue, it remains a firm favourite among enthusiasts who value driving engagement above all else.
This example is finished in the head-turning Starmist Ocean Haze, paired with a Wedgewood leather interior and aqua carpet: a combination that highlights the individuality for which TVR's Blackpool-built cars are celebrated. The vendor reports no marks or blemishes on the interior trim and states the walnut dashboard presents very well. Having been kept in a dehumidified garage, the chassis is reported to be in good condition.
A well-documented service history accompanies the car from its pre-delivery inspection in August 1994, with regular maintenance carried out by recognised TVR specialists. The speedometer has been replaced and reset on more than one occasion, but actual mileage has been carefully tracked throughout the records.tvr-griffith-500-122.jpg696.94 KB
