This is a rare 1966 TVR Griffith 200, one of only around 192 built. This is the car that embodied the Anglo-American formula of light British fiberglass bodywork and chassis combined with the raw power of Ford’s 289 V8. Often described as Britain’s answer to the Shelby Cobra, the Griffith 200 delivered extraordinary performance in its day, with sub-six-second acceleration to sixty and top speeds that rivaled anything on the road.

This is a project in mid-restoration, providing a solid basis for someone looking to complete a unique piece of motorsport history. The car is fitted with a Ford 289 small block, block casting C5AE 6015E, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine wears Shelby valve covers and sits in place within the Griffith’s compact engine bay. Much of the work has been carried out by a local shop, with paperwork documenting the progress to date. Both front and rear suspensions have been updated with 1994 Thunderbird components, including upper and lower control arms, although some original rear suspension parts are included with the sale. A Ford differential (code F4LW 4033-AA) is currently installed, and the car retains its non-assisted steering rack.

The fiberglass body has been prepared and sits as a complete shell, with bonnet, doors and rear section in place. Inside, the original dashboard, steering wheel and seats remain, though the interior will require full refurbishment. Alongside the car comes an assortment of spares and parts, laid out on a Union Jack in the photos: trim pieces, chrome parts, wiring, and other essentials to aid the next stage of the project. This Griffith is offered as a restoration project rather than a turn-key driver, but therein lies its appeal. With the hard work already started, it is an open invitation for an enthusiast to shape the car’s future—whether restored to original specification or taken down the restomod route. Rare, charismatic and brutally fast, the Griffith 200 remains one of the most exciting hybrids of British engineering and American muscle. Find it for sale at $32,000 here in Bakersfield, CA.
