Thanks Thommo - Interesting article

Thommo - thanks for posting - I hadn't seen that little gem before - its an interesting article and cracking looking bike.

Not sure how Geoff Nunn would have reacted to the Bitsa comments about the gearboxes tho !!......my experience of Griffon gearboxes has all been very positive after Geoff has worked his magic !

Stupid question, but my griffon is a 69 380, the id number is 58e 5**, does that sound about right for what model & year it is?, i have no idea how many greeves made per year, just interested....

[Brian Catt]

That seems correct according to the front page of this site.....

[dave higgins]

No i was refering to the batch no, not the model, the identify section gives no indication of the amount of griffons made in 1969/70, well not that i can see.

[Colin Sparrow]

I'm not aware of there being a definitive production record in existence of any of the Griffons, apart from the QUB Mk IIs, where so few were actually made.

This is because many went abroad and as we know the record of exported bike was lost in the late seventies.
