Hi Guys, Big Col Apps (Dulfords Chief Mechanic) has finally secured his new premises for TVRsSW Ltd. We were in there today to remove old fittings and get the place ready for his tools and ramps etc and he will now be working from there. So, as of Monday the 30th, the South West has its own Independant again !!!! Whats news today is that Neil Perry (TVRcarparts brain) is also starting within the same building. He has a backer and is setting up a TVR parts set up there too. So fortunately we will NOT be losing his many many years of knowledge. contacts and expertise! The guys will be having a brunch/lunch BBQ at the new premises and would like to invite all the locals and customers old, new and prospective along for a bite to eat and a natter on Saturday 12th May at 0930 onwards. Please come along if you can and bring as many with you as you can too. Website http://www.tvrssw.com/Location http://www.tvrssw.com/#/location/4556971688NOT related or financially involved BTW

Fantastic news!
Although I rate Fernies and their service, a two hr drive to see them is a real bind. I shall be contacting them in the next month or two for some service quotes.

I hope to come along and have a look around.
As a previous Dulfords customer its good to hear that we still have somewhere to go.
Great news that Neil will be around supplying spares, his knowledge is very valuable.
Cheers
Liam

So just to clarify; has the new TVR Carparts business taken over the stock of the old business? I thought someone else had taken that over.

Thanks Andy, That is great news, all the best to Colin and Neil. I would love to pop down, but I am 250 miles away, plus I'm not in the country! Already booked in for a service with Colin though, and hope to see you all at Brands for the first race of DTEC. By the way, any news on how Richard is doing? Apologies if this is sensitive info!

I would just like to clarify that neither Technical Vehicle Repairs & Servicing SW Ltd or any independent parts business which may operate out of its premises in the future are/or will be in any way connected to Dulford Automotive, Peninsula Automotive, TVR Car Parts, their directors, ex-directors or shareholders.
I am simply someone who worked for Dulford, was made redundant and is now trying to find my own way and starting from scratch.
No-one need worry about the reaction of suppliers - I have found them to be understanding and extremely supportive of a new business.
I hope that this clears up the confusion.

Good news, as some of you will kmow, I've just secured a car, so finding a local specialist is just what I need.
Working on Saturday, but may well pop in on my way back to depot.
