Alternative Parts List

I am filling this in as informaton becomes available, hence some cells in the tables are blank. Many thanks to Ian Cleveden of Cleveden Auto Spares, Bristol (01275 872355), who identified a lot of the parts listed here (and quoted some very competitive prices as well). Also to Chris Martin who has been rebuilding a fire-damaged Griff and learning all sorts of useful things in the process. Please always take the old part to someone who can identify it before buying a new one - the information given here is to point you in the right direction and is not definitive.

Wedge Automotive have an on-line catalogue with a good range of Griffith and Chimaera parts, including small service items, suspension components and complete exhaust systems.

Parts listed here are for 4 litre models up to 1994 unless otherwise stated.
