Well couldn't help myself put a deposit on a 4.5 today!.Suject to a satisfactory test drive on Sunday morning deal will be sewn up. first thing I need to do is carry out 24k service ,I suppose this is a biggy?.Will the tappets definetly need doing?.If so is there an independent someone could reccomend in the Midlands.Apart from that one or two bits of fettling by the dealer a few cosmetic bits for me to sort and jobs a good un,(I hope).

My first choice would be Joospeed close second Steve Guglielmi in Daventry.

Steve is ex TVR Tuscan champ and Wayne, his engineer, ex TVR Power. Wayne did the rebuild on my car and she is sooooo sweet!

Steve, you're a lucky man, welcome to the grinning club!

There's a list of people I'd trust with my car.

It's a very short list. Mike at Horizon Motorsport (Birmingham) or Jools up at Joospeed.

You drive the best, so go for the best service!

Congrats, and enjoy.

Horizon, Joospeed, or TVR Power if you want a main dealer

Will any of these company's do the service while you wait?.

Cheers

Try David Geralds (www.davidgeraldtvr.com) who were independents for many years and recently became a full TVR dealer. Service prices have remained the same. And they have a stock Sagaris to play with!

Depends how long you're prepared to wait

Major service does take a fair while though, at least a full day i would say.

All the above places come highly recommended, and there is also Top Cats near Aylesbury - not sure how close that is to you.

Congrats on your new purchase

dont forget to have cheque book at the ready. A big service is rarely under a grand in my experience. ie service plus tappets plus a couple of minor things! Can often cost a lot more!

Mike at Horizon will service while you wait if you want, but be aware servicing a Cerb is not quite like dealing the a Eurobox.... it'll take a tad longer.

Having said that, comfy chairs, a workshop full of tasty metal, and endless coffee does take the edge off it.

Or if you're really bored, one of them will run you up to Merry Hill for a shopping spree and then pick you back up later.... two ways of spending your money on the same day!
