Sunbeam Tiger vs TVR Griffith 200

Post by sunbeamtiger65 » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:49 pm

Wondering the similarities/differences in ride and performance between the Sunbeam Tiger and TVR Griffith 200? Anyone own examples of both of these marques?

I don't own both but on a sheer out and out performance the griff will beat a Tiger just look at lap times on the historic circuits, for FIA cars, the Griff is one of the fastest GT cars out there its only their brakes that let them down, they start the race at the front and go slowly backwards through the field as the brakes fade.
They do look small and cramped though.

I considered having one instead of a Tiger. Infact really like them. Easy choice for me though, the roof doesnt come off a Griff.
