Hi,looking for a bit of help.

I had some business in Tayport and thought I would pop in to see who/what TVR Ecosse can do. I followed to their address and it is a private house. Do they work from there or do they have workshops where someone can pop in and have a nosey at a TVR before committing to one.

Any help gratefully received.

I'll second what Scott said. Barry is a diamond whom I'm certain will be happy to show you what's what.

He does work from home a lot but tries to keep it low-key so as not to upset the neighbourhood. Give him a ring and say either of us told you to smile

Unless of course you're normally near me in Aberdeenshire and are particularly interested in Cerberas in which case you can see mine and come out for a ride.

Cheers, with it being a bank holiday I didn't want to knock the door. I called but it went to the answer phone.

I'll call before I travel next time.

What sort of time roughly? I'll text him and get him to call you back if you like.

Is there a model you're particularly interested to see and furryboots are you based?

I would really like a griff and he has just put up a precat that looks nice. At the moment though it is just wanting to look over one and size it up (vertically challenged at 5'4).

I am in Dunfermline so about an hour away. I will call him when I can.

Ah yes that pre-cat does look nice. I was just looking at that advert today infact.

I think the Griff can be fitted with pedal extenders like the Cerb. I have them on my Cerb actually, albeit screwed all the way in to maximise rear leg room for my daughter. Peter Wheeler was a lanky git though. There's a guy TVRCC who does Barry's powder coating who owns a nice green Griff. Only met him in person once but he wasn't very tall if memory serves.

As tony said (thanks tony); I'm pint sized, You'll be fine wink

Eta: Both the Chimaera and Griffith have an adjustable pedal box.
