1995 TVR Griffith 500 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, and this is my second TVR in a row, the previous one (an S2) I owned for 2.5 years and it only visited the dealer once for repairs.
General comments?
Awesome performance, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds fast enough for you?
Don't let comments about reliability put you off, they suffer if not cared for, so go and find a clean low miler with full TVR service history and get a warranty! The usual things that fail are electrical related. The engines a well proven Rover V8 (tweaked!) and the gearbox (on newer Griffs) is a BorgWarner T-5 so there's no problem there.
