Dropped in on the off chance as I had seen the sign for ages - TVR - on my way past.
I just thought that it was a "local" (Tunstall is an area in Stoke-on-Trent) run of the mill garage. Well how wrong was I - the cars dotted around the garage Included a rather special Sagaris, a beautiful Tuscan 2, a black Lamborghini - Gallardo(?), DB9, a couple of Cerberas one having a total rebuild for export to Switzerland and even a Sagaris early prototype shell etc, etc.
What a place which includes a great paint and chassis shop with nearly all of the TVR colour codes and paints!!!!
I had only wondered if they serviced TVRs - well er yes they do and much more besides.
The boss John took time out to give me the grand tour - what a great guy. Servicing my T350 would be no problem and all to or better than TVR Factory schedules!!
Web Address - www.supercarlifestyle.co.uk So if you have a Sag, T350, Tamora, Cebera, or Tuscan take a look.
To be honest the web site is really all about the major side of John's business but he is a real TVR fan and it appears that he would be only to pleased to hear from anyone who needs servicing or indeed upgrade. The Sag he has is yellow and boasts a 4.5 engine.
I don't have any affiliation with this guy - I literally stumbled across them today! I am about to mail John and ask him what the service menu prices are.
Cheers
Steve clap

Carbon brake upgrade that sounds interesting, any prices. I was really impressed with the brakes on your GT3 at Mira until I fubared them.

Hmm didn't realise these were so local. Might have to stop by sometime for a nose hehe.
Handy to know servicing won't be an issue when I do get a TVR.

Blimey I must have gone past hundreds of times and not realised that they were there. My last bike came from the discount cycle centre about a 100 yards further along the road.

Sorry for the double post.

Nipped in earlier for a nose. Nice place you have. That mini took a right shunt from the look of it. Sorry for not saying hi you were talking to a chap about some coats. Your Yellow Sag looks brilliant.

Luke, their will be a couple of race Tuscans at oulton park on Saturday for an end of season trackday.

I will be there too, but may be in an Audi A6 avant rather than the Sagaris, unless its not too wet

I was a John's place earlier too!

Maybe see you in the tommorow
