Welcome to the family! I don't know of anyone especially close to you, but you are not too far away from Automedon in Blackpool. If you check out some of the previous threads, you'll see that these guys have a great reputation and they are all ex-factory employees, so they will know your car pretty much inside-out! Depending on the age of your car, you may/may not want to use the approved dealer network. If so, be warned that prices can vary, so IMHO it is a good idea to shop around for the best price. Even if there is no-one who can check out or service your car locally, quite a lot of the independents or approved network will be prepared to collect/deliver your car for reasonable prices. I hope you enjoy your Griff as much as I enjoy my T350.

At least another pre-cat griff in merseyside, was it a ph classified car you bought? Best of luck with the car, what colour is it? To get it serviced /checked out don't even consider anyone but Ian@ torque rvt in middlewich he is simply an awesome guy who lives and breathes tvr's, and he is also extremely fair with his prices.

Thanks for the link ,will probably go to the next club meet as parbold is not far from me in southport.
On the west lancs website they have links to most of the local indies but nothing for that Main dealer with cold engines up the road ! Seems very odd that ?

Thanks for the info,
Just been on the west lancs website, it has lots of links to indies but my local main dealer with cold engines is not mentioned , lots of pics of late model club members cars that you would think would go to the main dealer for service !
Strange ! Dont they get on ?
