I've done a U-turn

[MattLux]

After owning my Chim for 6 yrs had her up for sell because of the new family addition and sadly not having a garage when moving to Reigate. Had a guy committed to buy and collect this week and now become to scared to sell from hearing all the stories when people called saying "I had a Chim but sold her and instantly regretted it"! Managed to find a garage less then 4 min walk to keep her tucked up so keeping her - can't wait for the summer now!!


Also, sad news. David Batty is closing up. He's done a grand job on my car.

Excellent news. I've not long had my Chim (First TVR)and don't know how I feel if I ever had to part from it. Cars come and go but TVR's are keepers!! I know that already.

After all these years DB is shutting up shop? That is sad news. His daughter is btw.

[MattLux]

Agreed. Spent a lot of time on the Chim and was very reluctant to sell.

Yep, DB is closing. If you need work done I would get in quick!

Good choice Matt! Just need to pull my finger out now so we can go do some driving in them...

David Batty closing down?!?!?!? I have been using him for years always done a fantastic job and a really nice guy.

People haven't been spending on their Tivs lately !

Darren hasn't been working there for a while now.

Very Sad.

He always got mine through its MOT and has done a lot of work on it over the years.

Will be missed indeed.

Couldn't agree more. I happily travel miles to see David and Darren.
I wish them both well.

And me, its a real shame - anyone know where he's going?
