About the 1991 TVR Griffith 500

The Griffith 500 marked TVR's renaissance, combining Peter Wheeler's vision with proven Rover V8 power in John Airey's stunning bodywork. The 5.0-liter aluminum V8 delivered 340 horsepower through a five-speed manual, launching this lightweight roadster to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. Unlike earlier TVRs, the Griffith offered genuine refinement alongside its savage performance, the steel backbone chassis provided surprising comfort while maintaining razor-sharp handling. The dramatic curves and aggressive stance made every journey an event, while the V8's rumble announced your arrival from miles away. With 2,187 built over eleven years, clean examples are increasingly rare and valuable. The Griffith 500 represents TVR's golden era, before complexity crept in but after build quality improved. For collectors seeking the ultimate analog sports car experience, few cars match the Griffith's combination of beauty, brutality, and British eccentricity.
