1995 TVR Griffith 500 Absolutely stunning exotic car featured in Gran Turismo video game series 1 through 6 in this color. Olympic Blue Pearl bodywork, glassed in headlights, right hand drive, full leather interior and great sound system. Targa top lifts out and stores in trunk or fold back for full open cockpit. The Rover V8 motor is awesome in a car weighing less than a Miata but with 3 times the power. Engine was factory matched with a strong a Borg Warner T5 gearbox. Handling is delightful. ...
Our Take:
- A True Rarity: The TVR Griffith 500, especially from 1995, is a rare gem. With just 284 units made, it's not something you'll spot at your average car meet. This particular model, with its Olympic Blue Pearl finish, was featured in the iconic Gran Turismo video game series, making it a piece of pop culture as well as a collector's dream.
- Performance and Passion: Under the hood lies the legendary Rover V8 engine, packing 340 horsepower and matched to a robust Borg Warner T5 manual gearbox. It's not just about numbers though; in a car that weighs less than a Mazda Miata but boasts three times the power, the driving experience is, quite frankly, electrifying. It balanced brute force with that lively, agile handling British sports cars are famed for.
- Quintessentially British: Built in the seaside town of Blackpool, England, TVR has always been known for its unique and bold designs. The Griffith 500 exudes this quirky charm, from its glassed-in headlights to the removable targa top that offers open-air driving pleasure. This right-hand drive setup only adds to its classic Brit-car allure.
- Future Classic: With TVR planning to re-enter the US market, interest in these older models is climbing. This Griffith 500, with its meticulous records, high-quality condition, and careful ownership, is not only a delightful drive but a sound investment. It's a piece of automotive art meant to appreciate both in value and in driver satisfaction.
