    1965 Griffith Series 200Ford dealer Andrew 'Jack' Griffith campaigned an early Shelby Competition Cobra. Driven by Bobby Brown and Mark Donahue, it was painted Viking Blue and wore the number 41. Jack's success with this car inspired him to build his own Anglo-American monster. TVR, a builder of sports cars in Blackpool, England, was contracted to supply body-chassis units. Ford furnished their new 289 cubic-inch V8 and four-speed transmission. This hybrid was named the Griffith Series 200. Period magazine articles raved about the car's brutal acceleration and revealed Jack's plan to campaign a Griffith factory racer.

    Sold new in November of 1965 by Bailey Motors in Middletown, CT, this car is number 154 of 192 built. The original owner managed only 1,904 miles before crashing. The resulting 42 years of storage ended upon its purchase and restoration in 2008. The featured paint scheme is modeled after Jack's Competition Cobra.
