SPECIFICATION
MAKE: TVR
MODEL: Griffith 400 (Pre Cat)
COLOUR: Cureton Green & Biscuit
YEAR: 1992
MILEAGE: 67, 000
PRICE: £19, 999. 00
DESCRIPTION:
This very early pre cat is from the first year of production in 1992. These early cars without the catalytic converters are loved by many for their free revving nature when compared to their somewhat strangled later counterparts. They also produced another 10hp due to the less restrictive exhaust system.
With a huge service history to back its mileage of 67, 000 (inclusive of the odometer change) but also its fabulous fully original condition inside and out, it ticks all of the boxes of an ideal drive-able investment. It still has its TVR book pack with all service stamps present and correct. It also comes with a huge file of history and receipts, the Steve Heath Bible and a workshop manual for the budding enthusiast.
Sitting pretty on its original, expensive and desirable Amil wheels, it really does look every part the 1990’s icon it was designed to be. The only upgrades from standard are a “big brake” upgrade on the front and an ACT smooth bore induction kit and smoked headlamp covers of which are sensible and do not detract from the car’s appearance. (original headlamp covers can be re-fitted if so desired). The all-important chassis and outriggers are in excellent all round condition, with recent new front wishbones and shocks and springs all round.
This particular Griffith has benefited from a thorough pre-sales service (12k in TVR language) comprising, clutch bleed, brakes, coolant, engine oil, diff & box oil, plugs & filters!
With 250 Blackpool horsepower on tap, it will easily embarrass modern hot hatches. Add to that the utterly fabulous noise of the unmistakable pre-cat, with the roof off this really is a great car to drive. So good in fact that I personally own one that left the factory in exactly the same specification!
The engines in these sit so far back that not only are they technically mid-engined, but the gearbox will keep you warm in winter! They also handle a lot better than folklore would have you believe, so why not get in touch and find out for yourself just why these cars have got such a strong following. With the best owners club support, parts availability and upgrades available from many sources, looking after the car for generations to come will be no issue whatsoever.
