All,

Please help I have a small problem, Long story short and all that, I am waiting for a loan to go through (Any Day Now) and will be buying a Cerbera. Can I just say thankyou to Gareth AKA Big Dog for his time the other day when we was discussing his car and TVR history etc for a good 15 minutes, As soon as I get clearance I'll give you a buzz Gareth.

Now people my problem is this, I am currently situated in Peterborough and would need to find a local TVR/Indie dealer nearby for servicing/mods and general vehicle care, instead of me doing the Google thing and finding one I thought it might be best asking you guys as you may have some first hand referrals etc.

Any advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated along with Car buying advice ie: what to look for etc I have around the 15K mark to spend.

Thankyou all for your help.
John

Oh, and good luck in your search!

There is also Prestige Performance Cars at Melton Mowbrey. I've had mine there a few times and Paul is pretty good, and reasonable in price too.

Mine may in fact be available if you're interested.

Hi John, never knew Peterboro was in Kent!

PPC at Melton are good to talk to and do business with. This Sunday is TVRCC East Mids at Wymeswold between Melton/Leics/Notts may be worth you wandering along as there were 47 TVRs last month (village pub, lunchtime meet). Or, I believe Northants are meeting at Sywell and some of the West Mids are coming over.

Good luck and as I come past P'boro most days I expect to see a new Tiv around soon smile
