Description
Superb 1994 Griffith 500 Taraka Plus PA49B Ruby Mica Red currently 55548ms.
Taraka engine rebuild at Powers in 2018 at around 48000ms. View the full specification of this rebuild on their website if unfamiliar. Top hat liner block. Dyno print out showing 302 bhp and 335 torques. Easily the quickest and smoothest Griff 500 I have driven.
Rebuild included their MBE engine management upgrade. Full spec of this on the Powers website, but in summary replaces the clockwork distributor with modern management and included a new wiring loom. Diagnostic and battery monitor / trickle charge connectors.
Replacement stainless exhaust and Clive Ford SS Y piece available but not fitted at present. Standard cat in place, passes emissions easily.
Alloy radiator with 2 stage fan kit. Never overheats
Rebuilt LT77 gearbox and nylon shifter socket all under 5000ms ago.
Adjustable electric power steering conversion by top cats. Makes the steering a pleasure
Body-off chassis refurbishment. Chassis remains in superb condition and receives regular waxing.
Full repaint, SE style larger headlights interior refurbishment at Central TVR. Beautiful new walnut dashboard and LED’s.
New META alarm with remote boot release.
High end Pioneer flip out stereo AVH Z71000DAB with car play, nav etc and quality speakers.
All of the above within the last 6K miles or so.
Fitted in 2024 new tyres all round (Rainsport 5)
New rear window.
New brakes all round within last 5 years, discs, pads, callipers, H-brake.
2024 had new Bilstein suspension supplied by Ben Lang. This has great ride quality.
Oil change in 2026 at 54858ms using Millers 10w40 semi synthetic
New starter motor, exhaust mount and clutch master cylinder fitted in 2024.
MOT March 2027. No advisories. 55548 total miles (although largely irrelevant due to the extensive restoration works).
LEZ compliant!
The car looks and drives absolutely superb, commensurate with the extensive upgrades and restoration as above. It has been living in my brick garage.
There is a large ring binder documenting all works completed. The total cost of this was more than the asking price.
I doubt you will find a better one, indeed it is now way better than from new and a lot more reliable. Price £28750. ONOTotally re-furbished drives better than new.
