Griffon (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Griffon Motors was a British automotive manufacturer based in Underwood, Nottinghamshire, operational from 1985 to 1992. The company specialized in producing traditional-style roadster kits, which were notable for their unique mechanical foundations.

The primary chassis for Griffon roadsters was derived from the Vauxhall Viva and Magnum models, which was somewhat atypical for roadster kits of that era. Additionally, customers had the option to utilize a Ford crossflow engine if the body was mounted on a ladder chassis. This flexibility in design allowed for a degree of customization that appealed to enthusiasts looking for a classic roadster experience.

Griffon Motors' offerings were characterized by their resemblance to the Merlin, another vehicle in the roadster category. The company aimed to provide a blend of classic styling and modern engineering, catering to a niche market of automotive hobbyists and collectors during its brief existence.
