FWIW - There's a Creditor's Meeting next week at which company is expected to be wound up. I don't know whether the garage will continue to operate under another name/company or will cease altogether - Streaky

Interesting, when I lived in the UK and had a wedge, they were my local TVR garage, now, if I moved back to my house Racing Green are literally at the end of my road.

There was a legal notice in the Farnham Herald this week about a meeting of creditors for the purposes mentioned in Sections 99, 100 and 101 of the Insolvency Act - whatever that means. A local rumour says that they are moving at least the workshop business to Tilford. A notice on the door refers car sales customers to a mobile number.

According to Farnham Herald last week, the debts were too great to allow continued trading and the company is in liquidation.

Think so, but not just TVR these days.

Round the back, the PGI bit. They split from SHG many years ago.

The nearest main dealer is now Racing Green.

SHG servicing transferred to Specialist Autocare at The Tilford Garage, The Street, Tilford, GU10 2BL 01252 793268. Leo Fisher is Service Manager.

This from letter received this morning. I have no interest in either business except as a customer of SHG.

Seems to be a confusing situation here. I had some outstanding work to be done and when I chased a few weeks ago I was told "we're no longer servicing TVR's".
