TVR Griffith
What is your favourite car of all time?
The Anglo-American Griffith combined TVR's Grantura Mk 3 body with Ford's small-block V-8 engine to produce a shatteringly quick motorcar. The original, later known as the 200, was far from fully developed and, following serious overheating and quality problems, was replaced by the 400 from April 1964. The Griffith 400 featured the new Manx-tail body style with familiar Cortina Mk1 tail-lamp/indicator units. Fitted with a 289 cid/4727cc engine, in "High-Performance" tune (271bhp), the top speed was in excess of 150mph with 0-60 coming up in only 5.7 seconds. Enough to severely embarrass E-type jaguars and Ferraris.
