Stablemate for Sale

[Sunbeam65]

I'm not sure how familiar the Tiger community is with Griffith 200...definitely cut from a similar cloth in the Anglo-American stable. No affiliation...but here is a beautiful one that happens to be for sale.

Griffith 200

Any one in the Tiger community ever own one of these little beasts? How does it compare in performance/ride to the Tiger?

Certainly very attractive. I've found the automotive and M/C design of the mid 1960's very appealing to me. Definitely able to change out the plugs without scuffing up ones knuckles. Quick search didn't reveal much info.

Griffith 200

I purchased a Griffith 200 a couple of years ago. It was basically a barn find. It had been off the road for thirty years or so. It appears to have been used as a drag car for some time and then abandoned in the 80's. I purchased the car and completely dismantled it for restoration. The Griffith wasn't in good enough condition to run/drive (bent suspension/corroded gas tank etc) so I have yet to drive one. My father owns a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger...and have ridden in that that numerous times...but I wondered how similar/dissimilar a Griffith would be...
