Modern classic sports car in pristine condition that’s ‘never seen rain’ on sale for bargain price

A MODERN classic sports car that has apparently "never seen rain" thanks to 32 years of dry storage has gone on sale at a bargain price.

The ultra-rare sportster is one of just 600 of its kind and has been treated to extensive restoration and maintenance work.

The Griffith was a small-batch sports car produced by British manufacturer TVR.

The company was, at one point, the third largest sports car brand in the world, but only ever made around 2,500 of the iconic model.

This example is from the first production year, 1992, and was one of just 602 of the original versions ever made.

Described as a "proper, hairy chested TVR" in the listing on Car & Classic, it doesn't even feature power steering.

The current owner admitted he was "reluctantly" selling the car as it was too expensive to keep under London's ULEZ scheme.

However, the sale presents an opportunity for a classic car lover not subject to environmental levies to snag a real bargain.

Speaking of mileage, there are just 49,000 on the clock, an average of around 1,500 a year.

And in just eight years, it will be old enough to qualify as a "historic vehicle", exempting it from road tax and MOT requirements.

The Griffith is on sale for just £15,500.

That's a real steal considering similar models can sell for upwards of £80,000 second-hand.
