Seen it...Drove it...Bought it...!!!
I am now the proud owner of BRG S3. Yes the one on PH Cardiff/Oxford. A very clean car.
I've been through all the palaver insurance calls etc,
The best deal Classicline £295 limited 5k miles.
That should be done easily within the first month

I would like to thank all of you for sharing your knowledge and for all those who I have spoken to over the past few weeks, what do people do without PH?

I will be looking for a new rear screen and hood shortly, any suggestions where?

Thanks again from a rather excited new member of your.....
Sorry our CLUB..!!

Good for you!

You just missed a Berkshire meeting yesterday, just down the road from from you at Three Mile Cross (incidentally I used to live in Burghfield Common, but that was pre-TVR ), but you'll have to try and make it along to the next one.

I just got my rear window replaced at Trimmania in Reading (0118 975 8700), just off Rose Kiln Lane near Safeways, because the stiching had given up the ghost. They were quite expensive (£250 plus VAT) but it was covered by my windscreen policy so I just paid the £60 excess. Alternatively, Mike from the Berks TVRCC has had some work done on an S1 that he's restoring after finding it in a delipidated state in a barn! He used a guy called Phil Seal in Newbury (01635 30094) who quoted me £100 to do the window, so it might be worth talking to him (and he's not too far from you either).

Look forward to seeing you around.

well done....
I assume you went for the "better" (IMHO)sounding V6 in the end?

Perhaps I should explain... a lot of people picked up their S's in the worst weather possible... I certainly did... seem to recall Rustoni did... maybe Shnozz...

DON'T DO IT! turn away from the path to eternal torment, once you cross the line there is no salvation you will be doomed to purgatory (commonly known as PH) for all eternity!!!!

Oh all right then, I tried to warn you! you'll just have to join the rest of us S'ing idiots with silly grins and wind whipped hair styles.

WELCOME ?
