1995 TVR Griffith

Highlights

Only 60,234 miles from new
Maintained by TVR specialists
High quality retrimmed two-tone interior
Recent £1,434 spent on servicing and ancillaries
Long MOT to July 2025 with no advisories
Very tidy example in rare Olympic Blue

The Appeal

Yes, there are other modern classic sports cars. But none are quite like TVR’s Griffith. The idea is simple and yet utterly compelling: dial up the power, dial back the driver aids. Clothe it all in something distinctive and luxurious.

It is no surprise that those lucky enough to experience a Griffith, love it. These are driver cars par extraordinaire: cars to properly enjoy.

When you buy one you want it well sorted, maintained by specialists and just like the factory made it. Like this one. Fitted with the brutal 5L 335bhp verison of that venerable Rover V8, it is a very low mileage car that has been enthusiast-maintained.

The Olympic Blue metallic paintwork is rare and the cabin has been professionally retrimmed in cream and blue. There is a new hood and extensive history by marque experts. Recent work includes £1,434 invested in August 2024 in a full service, new fuel pump, battery and upgraded engine hoses. The MOT runs to end of July 2025 with no advisories.

The Griffiths is arguably the final version of a very particular type of British sports car, one that owes its origins to cars like the TR6 and Austin Healey. With its modern creature comforts, this is one not to miss.
