This car languished in an old barn in the US for many years before being shipped back to the UK and rebuilt from the ground up by Greenwood Motorsport. This has not been a rushed project for the company, but the finished TVR 200 Griffith is probably now in better shape than when it left the famous Blackpool factory back in 1963.
Every single component has received attention, including a complete rebuild of the engine, transmission, chassis / suspension and cabin trim. Meanwhile, the body has been finished in classic period silver gray metallic paint.
The 289 Ford small block V8 makes this pocket rocket go like a stabbed rat, the handling is from a day when looking out of the side window was the norm – not for the feint hearted…. but it sure is fun.
We wish the owner plenty of race success for the 2012 season, and will report back on the car’s progress in due course.
