TVR Griffith Tyres

All Griffiths have a 5-speed gearbox, early cars having the Rover box but with the stronger Borg Warner unit used from 1994. Under the skin, the Griffith is much the same as the Chimaera but it has a different body and was produced in smaller numbers. The lightweight body comprises fibreglass panels over a tubular steel frame, making the Griffith a serious performance car with all models capable of the 0-60 mph sprint in under five seconds.
 
To mark the end of production, a limited run of Special Edition (SE) cars was built. Only 100 of these were made and combined the Griffith body with a Chimaera dash and seats from the Cerbera coupe. Other distinctive features of the SE are different lights and exterior mirrors and each car has a numbered plaque on the glove box, showing its build number.
 
However, that wasn’t the end of the Griffith story. In 2017, TVR’s new owners announced a second-generation Griffith. Designed by Gordon Murray - the man behind the McLaren F1 - it features a 5.0 litre Ford V8 and a carbon fibre, ground effect chassis. Carbon fibre and aluminium have been used throughout the car in order to reduce its weight. Inside, the Griffith is designed with minimal controls and digital instruments so as to offer minimum distractions for the driver. Production of the new Griffith is expected to begin in 2019 with an initial run of 500 cars.

Having been built in relatively small numbers, only around 3,000 across its production life, and being one of the first ‘new generation’ TVRs, the original Griffith is now a classic car that is cherished by its owners.
