[Roadsters] Griffin

[Joe Russo]

Drove one once - a friends - if a roadster is a go cart,  a Griffith is a
skateboard - with a v8 strapped to it - very wild to drive

That was actually a Griffith. It was based on a TVR. They were ugly like
bulldog is ugly - beautiful if you had acquired a taste for it. And yes,
went like stink! You might laugh at it, but don't try to beat it.

A British built vehicle named a Griffin was built about 30 - 40 years ago,
usually powered with a small Ford V-8 engine, like a 289 or 302.  it was
very light weight.  Very ugly, but mighty fast.

A better choice for comparison than a Peugeot.
