TVR dealer to cease trading
Caused by TVR's uncertain future
RIP Gatwick TVR
The company, based near London's second airport, has issued this announcement:
It is with great regret that we have to announce, as of 4.00 pm on Monday 6 November 2006, Classic Vehicle Services Ltd t/a Gatwick TVR went into administration.
This decision was not taken lightly and is based on careful analysis of our core business over the past two years.
It has always been our aim to remain a solus one marque dealership, providing a second to none service to you our customers.
We feel that every effort has been made to achieve this goal, however based on recent events and the current economic climate we do not see our business as viable at present.
We wish TVR good luck with their future plans and trust that you will find the help and support that you need from the existing TVR Dealer network.
We are sorry for any inconvenience that this will cause and would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your past business and support over the years.
PistonHeads wishes all staff and directors the very best for the future. With the future of TVR uncertain, this is -- sadly -- unlikely to be the last such announcement.
They were indeed a class outfit (if a little expensive IMHO..)
Good luck to all the guys who worked there - hope you find work that suites you all soon.
Will they be the first of many TVR dealers to fold or relinquish their dealerships. Tough times ahead
I fear that this will not be the first instance of dealers closing and employees out of work, perhaps the only dealers who stand a chance are those with more than one marque to sell, as sales for the other marques may keep them afloat until the "new" TVRs come back on stream.
Have you been in a coma Zooooom.
Its meltdown for TVR and everybody involved.
Well yes I am aware of the current situation at TVR, but I thought Gatwick TVR was one of there Premier Dealerships I expected the smaller dealers to go under first.
i bought my car from them in feb this year and the customer service from paul and sue was and still is phenomenal.
i even travelled for over an hour to get to them.
its a great shame.
good luck to all the guys ( and girl ) there, i sincerily wish you all the best.
if i can find a dealer with half as much customer focus ill be happy ( but still sad)
stu
Service from them has been very good - even right up to the end, as my car had been in with them for an engine-out job and I only collected it from them last Tuesday. Will be sad to see them go, but Paul confirmed it over the phone yesterday
They were my local dealer - had my Griff serviced there, bought my Tuscan from them & they've serviced it since - & always had fantastic service.
Given the current state of TVR affairs I can't say I'm surprised, but it's a crying shame that they've gone.
All the best to all concerned for the future.
