Anyone know if they are still in business? The website is up and there is an answering machine but I can't get through to anyone. Have tried several emails and also Contact Us link from website used to no avail????

I'm after getting my cam cover refurb'd and fancied using their 'one stop shop' (instead of local powdercoater / finding right colour code / new Speed Six insert etc.)

Is there anyone else who does this?

Thanks.

I have had my S6 cam cover refurbished by Barry. Excellent work. Still looks like new after several years.
Can't help with making contact, though.

I spoke to Barry last week definitely still going but they had an issue with phone /internet on site. He does all the work on my Tuscan.

Barry is defiantly still in business. He serviced my T350 last week. If I remember correctly his Mobil number is on his web page, i think this is the best way to contact him.

Thanks for the replies and very jealous of the cam cover picture, I'll try the mobile although when a business doesn't answer the phone or emails it makes me wonder. . . reassuring to know they are still there though - I will persist (my first email to them was November 2015!)

Barry is as sound as a pound. Typically for a small business though, he works all the hours the proverbial god sends. He hasn't got a receptionist etc like big garages so if he's missing calls, it's because he's under a TVR somewhere. I don't think I've ever got him first try, but leave a message and he always calls back.

Barry is definitely around - talked to him today - try his mobile number. Agree with others that Barry works all the hours that that he can and is totally dedicated to the TVR brand, typically too busy but deserves to be since he completely knows his business - I'd recommend that you persevere - let's face it if you go to a restaurant and it is flat out busy it is because it is good - same goes for TVR Ecosse

Thanks for the further replies. I've managed to get a hold of Barry now - due to 'communications issues' there is an alternate email address and a mobile number listed on an apology notice - hopefully my cam cover will be winging its way to him this week.

Just to finish this off, thanks to Barry I've got my refurb'd cam cover back and fitted it today. The only issue is the rest of the engine compartment now looks shabby in comparison! I opted for the TVR Parts viton gasket to refit as I have a deep loathing for RTV!

Apologies - obviously its not a Cerb. . . I'll get my coat.
