I asked this a couple of months ago.
As well as Col at TVRSSW there's JHD Automotive, which is run by another ex-Dulfords guy I believe:

If anyone (unconnected with these companies) has any feedback on them I'd be interested to hear as my Chim is living in that part of the world at the moment and is more or less ready to have its new engine put in now (finally).

. He also has Neil Perry (ex tvrcarparts) working with him under a new company name. Neil is a top guy also.
This particular car has the following history! im trying to put the pieces together
23/10/2001 - services at david hendry 1228miles
15/10/2002 - service at tvr penninsula 5030 miles
2003 - no stamp
30/11/2004 - penninsula tvr 7695miles (2500 miles since last service)
2005 - no stamp
2006 - no stamp
2007 - 27/06/2007 webbs auto specialists 9974 miles (2200 miles service since last service)
2008/2009/2010 - car was SORN on and off due to owner working abroad
2011 - august frampton of cotterell - 11200 miles (1200 miles service since last service)
as you see a few stamps very low mileage, mileage make sense plus the MOT failures on the dvla say due to binding discs! presume its because of the lack of use. I also rang DVLA and they can confirm the car has been SORN several times in the last few years, Im really interested to know more about the car so i can build its history again for peace of mind and for further sale in the future.

Seconded. I too have been a Peninsula / Dulford customer for the last 12 years. Was suprised to hear Dulford was no longer trading, so after seeing this thread, called TVRSW this morning.. He also has Neil Perry (ex tvrcarparts) working with him under a new company name. Neil is a top guy also.
Colin has worked on my car for as long as I have been a customer so I cannot recommend him highly enough.
My 400 is currently SORN, but I will be taking it to Colin for an MOT next month with a view to putting her back on the road in September

I had been a customer of Dulford and Peninsula for the last 9 years or so.
Just come back from a long weekend in Devon having my car serviced by Colin at TVRSSW.
A top job done, car feels better than ever. Colin is a great bloke, with a real passion for these cars and knows them inside out.
Colin Tina and the crew there are all so welcoming, a fantastic weekend.
