I looked at those pics in your article, remember when that 540k came out of that butcher’s garage in east London, this looks like that but 100 times over.

I saw you asking for our thoughts on Monterey on LinkedIn Nathan, I had to hold myself back from saying "I still can't afford any of them despite the suppressed results"

Some interesting results, mostly stronger than I thought but with a few low ish exceptions.
The Sebring looks lovely.
As a former fast Ford fan I just don’t really get it these days, also, £41k for a Griff 500 feels like auction fever?

Yes, it’s one of the very best, fully rebuilt underneath. Not viable to do as we found in hindsight but it kept one on the road and it’s a beauty.

This is so true. Bringing decent ones up to standard we found wasn’t viable, 2 3200 AC’s and a Ghibli GT and the only winner is the buyer.

and still not really a lot of money considering what some of the Fords etc made at Silverstone! Madness Maserati are so cheap. Ford Focus RS for 67k or this plus 30k for a nice QPV! Incredible....

I have to disagree about the Griff. It only has 10k miles and for raw, V8 analogue fun it’s a pretty decent price (I may be biased having owned 2 of them and was a bit of a TVR fanboySome interesting results, mostly stronger than I thought but with a few low ish exceptions.

Is it just traders moving it around or are owners struggling to live with it for some reason, I have seen much worse after market mods than this one although have never seen it in the flesh so maybe its not as good as it looks in the photos.And back up for sale again

Bit of both I think. It’s hugely overpriced in my opinion. I believe it’s been done well, but it’s still a 20 year old spyder.

I can’t see how a true enthusiast would want one. The majority would go for a Gransport Spyder, Anniversary Spyder if they wanted that era, and they’d be cheaper too. Or a Grancabrio Sport or even an early MC at that price point.

Agreed on the alternatives Dicky, but some folk like unicorns which is why two conversions exist (afaik), and someone with a collection might well appreciate it.
