What The Hell Is a Morris Griffith???
PH Advert Linky
Regostered as a 1967 Morris Griffith with a 1.1 engine.
Appears to be a 1980's / 1990's single-seater with a 2.0 engine!
The smell of fish is strong on this one!!!

Hmm, thing is with a one off or a locost you build yourself you can call it what ever you like.
However that does not excuse using a dead animal to clone into a nice new puppy....

I can't see how a 1967 1.1 litre car can possibly be used as a 'donor' for a 2 litre car that appears to be a factory-build
single-seater! The only 'home build' aspect that I can see is the cycle-wings, oversized wheels and a set of lights!

In addition to the poor wiring, welding on the cycle wing brackets and the price!
Looks to me, like a race car that has been 'converted' to be road legal. Anyone checked the registration out yet?

Registered as a 1967 Morris Griffith with a 1.1 engine in Scootz first post would be a clue.

Except that the information in Scootz first post is also on the LHS of the advert, and makes no reference to having done a reg check. 
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

I checked the reg... a 1967 1.1 Morris Griffith!
I don't mind a wee bit of 'creative' paperwork, but this is a complete piss-take! The fact that it's a dealer that's
trying to pass it off and he wants NINETEEN feckin grand for it further amazes me!
