It's always good to see new specialists. However, I'm not sure their web site is the best advertisement; the Chimaera section doesn't work and they claim that:

"The TVR Griffith has only one engine size, the 500 and holds a maximum brake horsepower of 320."

Surely they look after smaller engined Griffiths as well as the earlier 5.0 340HP engines?


Edited to add: It just looks like a hyperlink on the page linked to by the Pistonheads news article. Still needs fixing mind - and that includes changing the text describing the Griffith.

Not good, but probably a sign that they spend more time in their engine bays than online checking the work of their webmaster

Interesting... esp since Mole Valley are supposed to be independents now... they're only 15 minutes away, too. Hmm price-wars...

Good point.
They also probably had to get someone else to do it for them since their expertise is in TVR not WWW!
Perhaps they didnt pay much for the site so they can keep their prices down.
So stop whinging!

(Having said that though it would be good if we could list any faults for them to help them out. They might even return the favor in the future with a PH discount).

Guess you haven't learnt... you can criticize a man's mother, you can insult his children, you can poke fun at his choice of car... but NEVER ctiticize a man's website.

Not sure if it will be of any help to you all but I can report also.

I wouldn't mind reading a review or 2 for this place.

I'm hoping to get my clutch sorted very soon and they're pretty close to me.
