TVR - Griffith (1999)
TVR Griffith 1999 – A Legend on Wheels
The TVR Griffith 1999 is one of the most celebrated sports cars of its era, combining classic British design with exhilarating performance. While the TVR Griffith price varies greatly depending on mileage, condition and geographic location, enthusiasts often ask: what is a 1999 TVR Griffith worth? To answer that, let’s break down the essential details, get a realistic sense of depreciation, and compare it with its peers.

When assessing used TVR Griffith price trends, it’s crucial to understand how the car’s value changes over time. Generally, vintage sports cars follow a characteristic depreciation curve:
- First year (new to used): typically loses 15‑20% of its original price due to the immediate drop in novelty and the fact that new vehicles are still under warranty and close to production cost.
- Years 2–3: depreciation slows to about 10‑15% per year, largely influenced by maintenance records and mileage.
- Beyond the third year: value stabilizes, with fluctuations largely tied to collector demand, rarity, and preservation quality. A well‑maintained 1999 TVR Griffith can often hold its valuation for 7–10 years of ownership before experiencing a similar 10‑15% annual decline again.
Because the TVR Griffith depreciation curve depends heavily on individual vehicle care, it’s best to compare similar examples of the same model year when establishing a final price bracket.
Comparison ContextHow does the 1999 TVR Griffith stack up against similar vehicles?
- TVR Sagaris (1996‑2002): The Sagaris shares the same platform but offers a lighter chassis and smaller engine (3.0‑L V8). Their used TVR Sagaris price tends to be 10‑15% lower than a comparable Griffith due to the latter’s larger engine and sports‑scarier styling.
- Caterham Seven (1999): While the Seven is cheaper (often used TVR Griffith price as a baseline) and more affordable to maintain, it lacks the torque output and rear‑wheel comfort of the Griffith.
- MG TVR F-Type (2012‑present): A modern gadget‑deep sports car produced by MG, the F‑Type boasts advanced electronics and safety features, driving its usage price higher. It serves as a contemporary reference point when evaluating why the TVR Griffith 1999 price remains attractive for purists seeking a true 90s visceral experience.
Overall, the 1999 TVR Griffith occupies a mid‑tier spot: more premium than
