After the introduction of the Challenger, the next models to appear were the 250 and 380 Griffons. With lots of power to compete in the open class in motocross, the 380 Griffon was a beast, pushing out a claimed 39bhp with the weight of a 250 machine. With the new tubular frame, and Ceriani forks, it seemed well up to the competition.
This 380 Griffon, dating from approximately 1971, was added to the collection in 2007, and is believed possibly to have some original paint. It has twin-shock rear suspension with the tubular frame, steel wheel rims, fibreglass petrol tank and side panels. Fitted with drum brakes front and rear, it will require some re-commissioning prior to further use. There are no documents, and whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown and is sold strictly as viewed.
