Surrey / Berks / London - please educate me!
Discussion
I can't get to the January Berks meet as I'll be up North for work that week. I'm ready to go shopping and really want to get up close with some TVRs, talk to owners, clue myself up on what to look for and where. I'd be really grateful for a poke around some time over the next couple of weeks. I'm buying the teas. Least I can do.
I'm based in Richmond, but willing to travel. I'll be shopping for a Chimaera, most likely a 450. I have Steve Heath's (excellent) book, but nothing like seeing for real.
If willing owners can PM me or reply below, I'll suggest what seems a mutually convenient location to meet up. Or if there's a regular meet I'm not aware of - Surrey group, Ace?
Thanks! Excited.

Always up for a chat.
If you want to see a chimaera in bits, I am rebuilding the engine and carrying out various mods at the moment.

My old area in fact the familes old area as Mother was born in Dorking. I worked for Dorking Autos (recovery driver) for a while Mum and Dad met working from E.J. Bakers (Vauxhall/Bedford dealers) at their Vincent land works. Once married they moved to Salfords by the common then to Horley in 68......... Miss this hills as it's darned flat here.If you want to see a chimaera in bits, I am rebuilding the engine and carrying out various mods at the moment.

Don't know about you but when ever I see one of the rumps poised up in the air covered in skin tight lycra stufff I just feel it needs a nice sharp swipe with a cane or crop acros it from an ove taking vehicle 
let's face it they would never get the number as their eyes would would screwed up tight and pointing to the sky while thay held on to their nether cheeks 2gins said:
Both good ideas, I can get to Marlow after work easy enough (Slough). But it'll be dark!
When a SS comes around I'm generally there. But once a decision is made I don't do patience.
I don't think being dark would matter, at this point I would have said a chat and a drive out to see if you can get a feel for the car and see if it really is what you want. When a SS comes around I'm generally there. But once a decision is made I don't do patience.

The next TVR Surrey meet is 4th Thursday, so 26th \jsn at the Jovial Sailor at Ripley near J10 of the M25. A fair amount of knowledge amongst the group.
Just down the road from me (I'm in Mayford). Is it always at the Jovial Sailor? And 4th Thurs of every month? Might pop down. Although it's too close so will have to take a detour

Berks meet is a very good one and usually very well attended with lots of models there.
Surrey meet can be thin on the ground for TVRs.
Used be a selection of TVRs go to the ACE Cafe to - can't recall the night.
Go down to Fernhurst and have a poke round their stock of Chims.
I'm at Ace tonight so if anyone fancies turning out to talk Chims, great to see you. Fernhurst on Friday. I'm getting it in!Surrey meet can be thin on the ground for TVRs.
