This 1965 TVR Griffith, is a series 200, with its original HY PO Ford 289CI 271 HP V8 engine and a 4-speed top
loader transmission. Only about 200 were built and very few with the HY PO engine. The Griffith is approximately
1400 lbs. sports car with a tube chassis, a fiber glass body, independent suspension and Ford V8. This car is
extremely fast and very rare. I’ve owned this car for approximately 10 years. It has been to numerous car shows
and has taken 1st place. This is an early Griffith 200-5-006 as you can tell by the side grill vents. The original
headers and exhaust have been replaced with a stainless steel exhaust system by the previous owner. It has a gear
reduction starter, which is smaller than factory, which was also replaced by the previous owner. It has spax shocks
all the way around and it appears the springs are also newer. It still bears its original TVR rear. The front ball
joints are new and still bears the original radiator and kenlow fans. It has an early dual-point distributor, new
front brake pads, original VIN foil & a master cut-off switch was installed by one of the previous owners. The car
was painted Mercedes silver (DB180) by the previous owner and the interior is red. The bonnet badge shows patina
and it appears to be the original. The odometer reads 11, 670 but I do not believe it to be true. The tachometer is
the proper Faria tack.
