[Colin Sparrow]

Here's a poser for you:

What colour were the tank and side panels on the 1971 Griffon Enduro?

(I've only got black & white photos of it!)

Griffon Enduro Colour

From memory I believe "Bike" magazine did a test on the Griffon plus other enduro bikes. I think 1 of the shots was in colour and I seem to remember it being red metalflake GRP. Of course I could be totally wrong!

Hi Colin,

Yes...red flake for the 380 and blue flake for the 250, frames were hammered grey. Remember them well on the Nicholson showroom floor.

Thank you everybody. Chris and I thought red or blue metalflake was right - so the same colour as the scramblers in fact - but I needed to be sure.

I bet they looked fabulous!

Griffon frame colour

I dont know for sure what red it was but, yesterday at the Popham auto jumble Rob and I saw a griffon that is for green lane use that was a cracking bike fitted with a 600 Rotax engine I think Rob will be doing an article on it
