All TMS creditors will of course be paid in full.
We are also pleased to announce that Paul Glynn who is currently TMS Service Manager will be establishing his own TVR specialist servicing business which will trade from the same premises. Prestige Performance Cars will be open for business on 1st December 2005.Please see the additional news item for more information

Prestige Performance Cars - Statement

Quote from Paul Glynn, currently TMS Service Manager.
" With effect from 1st December 2005, my new business Prestige Performance Cars, will operate from the current TMS premises at Beler Way, Melton Mowbray. Some of the TMS staff will remain in place, providing continuity and retaining many years of TVR experience. We will provide an excellent standard of service and would welcome the opportunity to discuss the needs of present and new customers. We hope that you will support us in this new venture, as our enthusiasm and commitment to the TVR product will help keep a TVR presence in the East Midlands." The telephone number will remain the same at 01664 481065 and a new web site and email address will be set up shortly.

It would be really good if they could publish a list/catalogue...

As I would be interested in memoribillia, particularly any griff stuff.
Just a long way to go without knowing what's going under the hammer.

The parts listing is available as an excel spreadsheet.
We are currently working on the catalogue which will be available as a word document during the week preceding the sale.
Please feel free to email us and we will send the parts listing.
We will of course sell parts and cars prior to the auction if required.
You can pre-register or just turn up on the day.
Please bear in mind that only registered buyers will be able to bid on the day as this is the only way to ensure the event goes smoothly.
Thanks for your interest.

TMS
