Does anyone have a recommendation for a TVR dealer in the Cambridge/London area?

My Tuscan S is due its 18k service and I'm new to the area.
Also what should I expect to pay and is it worth shopping around?

Thank you.

www.sebringinternational.co.uk ask to speak with with Matt their TVR tech. fantastic service and good prices. He used to work at Brundles TVR when they were about and knows TVRs inside out.
When I was last there he had a Tuscan2 in for some work despite the fact it was still under dealer warranty - the owner apparantly wanted someone he trusted to sort the car out rather than get it sorted for free by the official dealer.

I live in East London. Just go the car done (12k service including valve clearances).
I used Andy and APM Automotive and v pleased so far.

Check out my thread under tuscan servicing. He's in Liphook (about an hour on the train south of london) but easy to dro pthe car off sat morning and pick up the following week. (or earlier if you need).

Agree with zippee.
The Tuscan2 was probably mine. Took it to Matt for a problem to be fixed back in October, even though it was still in warranty. He will be looking after it from now on, and also my Griff.
Very Reasonable prices,confidence that all the work has been done and a very genuine guy.
Although they are in the middle of nowhere, they do i beleive have a car available for the your use as well.
I have been to several dealers/independents over the years, and will certainly be using Sebring from now on.

They do indeed have a courtesy car available now - a ford Focus. Far better and safer than the clunkers offered by some garages. As per Nigel, it's the only garage I've been to whereby I've left feeling 100% confident that all the work required has been done. matt is also a bit of a perfectionist.

Nigel - on another note I see from your profile your a Financial Advisor, would you mind if I picked your brains on the subject at some point as it's a career I desperately wish to move into once I've got a few things paid off later this year?

Have also just booked mine in with Matt at Sebring (after my visit there with Zippee). Very friendly guy, seems to know the cars inside and out. Given my experiences with other local specialists I don't think I'll be going anywhere else in future.
