Mine is the 3rd car made in the Griffith factory my Jack Griffith team in the US. The numbers 200-03 are not the US chassis numbers, Mike I think has these later UK numbers on the Register chassis tracker though (they should have dates in the number Iā€™d have thought ā€“ will check with Mike).


I have the html Register of all the Cars from when Joe Rauh handed over the Register to Mike Mooney - I'll see if the Uk cars are on there - I think they are. I have the original chassis plate for mine and Mike knows the full history of my car.

These cars are the later Griffs that the UK Factory built presumably not from the Griffith US factory.





Gregor might pop onto here and be able to comment more on the 04 UK car his father drove.

For Griff Race car lovers - here is some footage from my TR4 of Steve Wattons ex Monster.

That Fly had Great Timing!!!!

Also this is fun - Roger Connells Griff is at the end (few more laps and I'd have had him - cracking fun, first race in the 6 in full all steel race engined spec ā€“ a lot faster now though!).
