Castle TVR near Stanstead are probably your nearest main TVR dealer www.castletvr.com although i understand CDL who i think are based somewhere near to Grays/Thurrock have a service team that work on TVRs but i havent used them personally.

As I said on another thread I am in Southend and have a mutli coloured Tuscan S....you won't miss it believe me!

I would say Castle TVR as they are a great bunch of guys...know what they are talking about, especially Michael Caine as he is the TVR factory race driver (currently now in Sebring for this weekends race).

Haven't heard much about CDL on the engineering front but I'm sure they would be good as they are the local GT race team...hopefully at Le Mans this year!

Yes...I can recommend Castles too.

Congrats on the TVR and as you are an Essex peep, why not visit the Mid Essex Meet on the second Sunday of the month.

Be delighted to met you and see the TVR.

If you drop me a mail I'll send you the details.

Castles gets a thumbs up from me too.

Rob in service is an extremely helpful chap.

Sent an e-mail to CDL for quote on service plus other needy mends a week ago. No response so far so I think they may be off racing somewhere. I am going to call them tomorrow.

Alternatively there's a guy in Chelmsford getting rave reviews at the moment. He's not TVR specialist, but general service, steering, brakes and suspension he's very good. Now looks after around 6 local TVR's. 'N17TVR' has used them recently.
