Not over here, you still see quite a few Chimaeras but a Griff is a rare sight nowadays.

Me too. The Griffiths was (is) TDB.

Well.... I like it! But then I always liked the Alfa SZ. Looks like a concept version - very similar to a pic on deviant art.

They marketed the chimaera as the cruiser/boulevardier and the Griff as a hairy arsed brute! Under the skin they were the same from about '95 IIRC apart from the smaller engine options for the Chim.

Griff also had 4.0 and 4.3 as well as the 5.0.

never sold in the US but appeared in quite a few films.

Ah ok, never seen a griff in a film, only a Tuscan in Swordfish. IIRC from mid 90s griffs were 5 litre only and more expensive, the 4s were early on precatalyst, few were 4.3 bigvalves and v sought after now...., hence why loads of 4 litre chimaeras were sold (I’m on my second).

These were posted on another forum. It’s looking pretty special and I think set to make a hit at nationals.

One things for sure, with DNAs attention to detail and the nice little trick the car has, I can see this being a big hit!
