TVR Griffith 200 FIA Race Car

Presenting the 2023 Pall Mall Championship-winning TVR Griffith

The TVR Griffith 200 represents one of the most potent and raw sports cars to emerge from the British specialist car scene of the 1960s. Originally developed in collaboration with American racer and engineer Jack Griffith, the model was effectively a transatlantic hybrid. A British TVR chassis engineering mated to American Ford V8 power. While the road car was a formidable machine in its own right, it’s the FIA-specification race cars that have since cemented the Griffith’s reputation on the historic motorsport stage.
Brutal, loud, and unapologetically raw, the Griffith 200 rewards talented drivers. The massive torque from the V8 and lightweight construction allow for nimble changes of direction and immense pace in the right hands. Unlike the more refined GTs of the era, the Griffith is a car that punches far above its weight.

This TVR Griffith 200 FIA race car is the outright winner of the 2023 RAC Pall Mall Cup Championship.
Powered by a Ford 289ci small block V8 engine, built by the renowned Steve Warrior and producing an estimated 450 bhp, the car features a four-speed gearbox and limited-slip differential. Originally built in 2016 by the respected TVR specialists Nigel Reuben Racing, it has been meticulously prepared and maintained by them from the start of the 2022 season to the present day.

Since its debut, the Griffith has been a front-running contender at the highest level of historic GT racing, competing in a range of prestigious international events, including:

* 2023 Spa Six Hours – 2nd in class, 10th overall
* 2023 Spa Summer Classic – Qualified 3rd overall
* 2023 RAC Pall Mall Cup – Championship Winner, 1st place at Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit
* 2024 Spa Summer Classic – Pole position
* 2024 Silverstone Festival (Masters Gentleman Drivers – Pre ’66 GT) – 3rd overall
* 2024 Silverstone Pall Mall Cup – 1st place

“Barton set a rapid pace in the opening stint to establish his lead. He and Reuben showed off pace, reliability and the perfect strategy to take their victory.”
-Motor Racing Legends, Silverstone 2024 Race Report.

Following a comprehensive rebuild including a new chassis, engine, gearbox, and differential, this Griffith is effectively a brand-new car and immediately proved its credentials by securing 3rd place at the 2024 Silverstone Festival and winning the 2024 Silverstone Pall Mall Cup.

This is a no-expense-spared, race-ready example of a highly competitive FIA GT car. Eligible for a wide array of top-tier historic racing series, including:

* Masters Gentleman Drivers
* Motor Racing Legends RAC Pall Mall Cup
* Spa Six Hours
* Spa Summer Classic
* HSCC Guards Trophy
* CSCC Swinging Sixties

There is also a spares package available for the car at a separate negotiation, including
* 2 additional sets of wheels
* Spare differential

Their combination of lightweight construction, big V8 torque, and short-wheelbase agility makes them competitive and entertaining, particularly in pre-66 GT grids where they go head-to-head with Cobras, E-types, and Ferraris.
